Conclusion: After studying all options and undertaking a route survey, we believe the loads could be transported on this route, however some upgrades will need to take place. The following are the key points that need to be taken into consideration, if the project moves forward with this route. PORT OF GEELONG:

• The port storage area will need some upgrades. There will need to be some internal road modifications, and some hardstand upgrades.

• The roads from the storage yard through to Corio Quay Road need very little work in their current form, some signs need to be made removable and a no parking zone put in place between 2:00am and 5:00am on the corner of Crowle and Langdon streets.

GREATER GEELONG: • All roads up to the turnoff from the Princes Highway onto the Geelong Ring

Road are okay in their current condition. • Large amounts of works are required on the turn from the Geelong Ring Road

onto the Midland Highway.

BANNOCKBURN: • Hardstand required on the roundabout. Additionally some signs need to be

made removable.

ELAINE SITE ENTRANCES: • Design drawings are currently been reviewed for these intersections

YENDON

• Works required on both the Midland-Yendon 2 corner and the Yendon 2 onto Yendon 1 corner. These include hardstand and signs to be made removable.

• A height of 4.7 metres is to be achieved, to safely give a 300mm clearance under the trees on Yendon no1 Road.

• Rail crossing will need to be surveyed for the vertical curve.

YENDON SITE ENTRANCES: • Design drawings are currently been reviewed for these intersections


63

DIMENSION-LENGTH: • If upgrades are made to the pinch point listed in the survey, than the loads

can be transported to site.

DIMENSION-WIDTH: • The route in its current form is suitable for the width of the blades been 4.5

metres. However it is recommended that roadwork’s be checked prior to departing.

DIMENSION-HEIGHT UNDER STRUCTURES: • No problems for the blades.

DIMENSION-WEIGHT OVER STRUCTURES:

• Bridge structures to be assessed by VIC Roads and local councils.

OVERHEAD UTILITIES: • Approval has been granted on this route for the blades.

RAIL CROSSINGS:

• Permit to be submitted to ECO DEV for approval.

TREES: • Trees to be pruned in Yendon township.

ROADWORKS:

• To be checked closer to the date of movement.
