<\/div>We know that Diwali is a very important time of the year for a number of our families and we hope you have all enjoyed celebrating Diwali together this past week.<\/div>

Upcoming works - Heathcote River Crossing - Footbridge closed<\/span><\/h3>
There is a section of major works beginning soon <\/span>on Eastern Terrace (at the end of Malcolm Ave)<\/span> which will affect pedestrian traffic from those that use the footbridge.<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
A new pipe is being installed underneath the Heathcote River, next to the footbridge at Malcolm Ave, and into Palatine Reserve. Palatine Reserve will also be closed for quite a long period of time, and the bridge will be closed over a 6-week period.<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
There will also be a section of Palatine Road closed just next to the bridge.<\/span><\/div>

You notice and do things that need to be tidied or sorted out and this is such a good skill to have. Ka rawe, William.<\/span><\/div>
