The Quorn Park Hybrid Farm on the Back Trundle Road in Parkes is progressing through the construction phase of the project.
Initial construction activities have started onsite with materials now delivered for access tracks and working areas.
Further road upgrades to Henry Parkes Way and McGrath Lane are scheduled to commence shortly.
Vehicle movements are being continuously monitored to limit impacts to local road users.
Light and heavy vehicles will continue along Henry Parkes Way, McGrath Lane, and Back Trundle Road as materials and personnel are transported to site, generally between 7am–6pm, Monday to Friday.
