March Street Road Rehabilitation Works & Installation of Traffic Islands

Overview Hawkesbury City Council is seeking a contractor to carry out road rehabilitation works and install traffic islands on March Street, Richmond. About The Hawkesbury LGA is located 55 kilometres north-west of Sydney CBD within the Hawkesbury River Valley. It is the largest LGA area in the Sydney basin, covering approximately 2,800 square kilometres with an estimated population of 67,207 as at 2021. The area is divided by five rivers, and approximately 70% of the LGA is covered by national parks. The Hawkesbury was settled by Europeans over 200 years ago and was one of the earliest areas to be settled after Governor Phillip's arrival in 1789. In 1794, 22 farms were marked out from South Creek to Wilberforce, and within four years the area was populated with 600 free settlers as well as convict labourers. In 1810, Governor Macquarie established five towns in the area: Windsor, Richmond, Wilberforce, Pitt Town and Castlereagh. Prior to European settlement, the Hawkesbury's inhabitants were the Darug and Darkinjung tribes of Aboriginal origin. The topography of the area is diverse, ranging from fertile flood plains and wetlands, undulating hills and heavily timbered ridges, through to inaccessible mountainous regions dissected by steep gorges and towering escarpments. As a result of these geographic features, the Hawkesbury experiences regular flooding and bushfires, often resulting in disruption to commerce and damage to agriculture, property and community infrastructure. These features also limit development within the City.
