Unauthorised access to construction site

The community is reminded that access to the Black Mountain Road landslip construction site is forbidden. This follows community feedback, as well security camera footage, that people have been trespassing out of work hours.

The landslide area is a worksite that only authorised persons can enter. Conditions on the site are constantly changing, with multiple hazards and potential risks. You are risking your own safety and the safety of others when you enter this site.

The site has 24/7 security camera and an audible alarm designed to remind people not to trespass. These measures were put in place to monitor construction and suspicious activity out of hours. In response to community complaints about the number of times this alarm sounded over the weekend, the alarm will be turned off. The security base station will continue to be advised when the site is accessed illegally, and the alarm will be reinstated if trespassing continues.

Security measures and fencing are also going to be reviewed.

Please note:

• Any location beyond the fence is considered the worksite.
• Signage on the fencing clearly specifies the restrictions.
• Do not cross beyond the fence unless you are an authorised person.
• More fencing may be put in place to deter those who plan to trespass.

We ask for the community's co-operation with this important safety issue.
