Drimmie Head Rd Resealing Project
Residents of Gunyangara and surrounding areas are advised that sections of Drimmie Head Rd will be undertaking resealing from Saturday 10 to Friday 23 November.
During this time Drimmie Head Rd will be restricted to single lane traffic and heavily reduced speed limits.
Please follow traffic management staff directions and obey all speed limits. Your safety and the that of the road works crew are of paramount importance.
Further to the community notice issued 12 September 2018, please note that Rio Tinto has reviewed the sequencing schedule to reduce the impact to residents over the football weekend on 29-30 September.
Changes to the schedule now provides (sic) a reduced impact to residents over the football weekend on 29-30 September. Works still need to take place on Saturday 29 September and Sunday 30 September and some areas remain impacted.
Please read carefully so that residents can appropriately plan for alternative arrangements if required.
While we acknowledge interruptions to the power supply can be frustrating, these works are an important piece to (sic) upgrading Nhulunbuy’s power network and your patience is appreciated as work to complete them as safely and efficiently.
The project team have prepared a carefully planned sequence of works so that impacts are minimised as much as possible. This includes minimising impacts to (sic) businesses and essential service providers in the first instance.

Major works to power network soon to commence
11 September 2018
Major works will soon commence to upgrade the power network in Nhulunbuy to improve the town’s industry standard power network.
These works will commence on Sunday 23 September and continue through to the end of November.
The works will improve the reliability of power supply by installing isolators throughout the power network. Once installed, the isolators will enable the power network to be divided into zones, ensuring future scheduled maintenance to the power network is able to take place with minimal impact to the town network.
What you can expect
• Power outages will be 6-8 hours in duration, between the hours of 8:00am – 4:00pm
• Your property will be affected multiple times over the duration of the project.
• Works will take place seven days a week.
• Both residential and business properties will be impacted.
• Minor trenching may occur on footpaths.
• Works will include the use of heavy mobile equipment on streets and driveways.
• Please observe the traffic management in place. Vehicle users and pedestrians are encouraged to take extra precaution during this period.
What we will do to minimise the impact to you
• Where possible, properties will not be affected for more than one consecutive day at a time.
• Where possible, outages affecting businesses will be minimised.
• For schools and essential service providers, where possible, power interruptions will be scheduled outside of hours.
How to find out when your property will be impacted
Impacted areas will be identified via a zone map. To view which zone your property is located within, please refer to the zone map on our website.
