Works

Council is currently planning upgrade works on Pass Road, Rokeby, between Glebe Hill Road and Connor Place. It is intended the upgrading work from Winterborne Road to Connor Place be undertaken in 2025-2026, subject to contractor availability, with these works to be followed by the upgrading work from Glebe Hill Road to Winterborne Road.

Council plans to improve and widen the road so that it is more suitable for the increased traffic and type of vehicles using the road. Additionally, a shared path is to be provided on the western side of Pass Road from Glebe Hill Road to Winterborne Road with allowance for a possible future shared path from Winterborne Road to Connor Place.

The road widening will also require the relocation of some underground services and overhead power lines and poles.

For additional information please contact council’s Project Manager Mark Painter on 03 6217 9734 or mpainter@ccc.tas.gov.au.

January 2025 update – works recommence  

Work to complete the Beach Street stormwater project will soon begin, with the project expected to restart on Tuesday, 28 January 2025 and be completed by end of April 2025. 

The project was postposed in June 2024 due to the impact work would have on the Spotted Handfish spawning season.  

These construction works include the installation of a large-scale, permanent stormwater pipe at the end of Beach Street, through the sand dune and into the River Derwent. Once complete, the upgraded stormwater system will reduce the risk of flooding of the road and private properties during heavy rainfall events. 

To ensure community safety during the works, part of Bellerive Beach and the Clarence Foreshore Trail, as well as surrounding roads and carparks will be temporarily closed. 

 Please see details of the closures below.: 

•          Bellerive Beach will be closed at the area where works are being conducted – between the entrance west of Beach Street and the entrance at High Street. You will still be able to access the beach, however detours will be in place for the section where the works are conducted. 
•          The Clarence Foreshore Trail will be closed to all users at the section at the end of Beach Street, signage will be in place to detour users via Luttrell Avenue.
•          Beach Street will be temporarily closed between Church Street and Luttrell Avenue and Luttrell Avenue will be temporarily closed between Beach Street and Facy Street. Access will be available for local traffic only.

  Residents can also expect: 

• reduced speed limits on local roads 
• onstreet parking restrictions 
• temporary fencing, road barriers and signage to provide separation of the construction zone from the public. 

Construction works will require use of the contractor’s temporary site compound on the corner of Wentworth Street and Alexandra Esplanade. This compound will be removed and the area remediated as soon as practical following completion of the works. 

As part of the reinstatement of the site, Bellerive Beach and the sand dune will be reconstructed to match the pre-construction condition. Erosion control matting and new plantings will be installed in the sand dunes and the affected section of the Clarence Foreshore Trail will be reconstructed.   

If you have any questions, please contact City of Clarence – Contact Us.
