What to be aware of

Health and safety
Shepparton Line Upgrade works are progressing under the current Third Step restrictions in Regional Victoria.
You may notice an increase of workers on projects as restrictions on construction sites start to ease. Large-scale public infrastructure projects are critical and strict COVIDsafe Plans are in place on all project sites across Victoria. Workers on all sites are required to wear face masks unless they meet any of the criteria for exception – such as a medical condition for Occupational Health and Safety guidelines.
Physical distancing measures are in place as well as increased hygiene practices. For more information and advice about the coronavirus (COVID-19), please visit coronavirus.vic.gov.au.
