Dubbo Regional Council Purvis Lane Upgrade-Construction of New Street Lighting - T20-013

1            OVERVIEW

Purvis Lane is a local "east west" distributor road providing access to the North Dubbo Industrial Precinct.  It provides access from the Newell Highway and connects with Yarrandale Road, a "north south" distributor which links to the Golden Highway.

The existing road, was constructed over 60 years ago effectively as a local rural road servicing the abattoir which is long closed and has been replaced by new industries and businesses including pet food processing, wool warehousing, truck and heavy plant sales and service, mining equipment sales and servicing, steel fabrication and concrete precasting.  The road also provides access from the Newell Highway to industries in Yarrandale Road including Fletcher International Exports abattoir and Fletcher Grain Intermodal Centre.

1. The existing two-lane road with 7m seal width is to be upgraded to the proposed standard of an "Industrial Distributor" road.  Distributor Roads are typically designed to allow truck access into adjacent properties without interrupting traffic flow.
