As Canberra enters the first Sunday of February 2026, the ACT Government and various public service agencies have issued several critical notices regarding infrastructure upgrades, road closures, and public health advisories. Residents and visitors are encouraged to review these official updates to minimize disruption to their travel and weekend activities.

Major Roadworks and Maintenance

Significant road resurfacing and maintenance programs are scheduled to commence or continue across the territory this Sunday. Key updates include:

• Mugga Lane Resource Management Centre: Pavement resurfacing works are scheduled to begin today, Sunday, 1 February. To minimize impact on facility operations, these works will primarily occur in the evenings. Residents should expect temporary traffic management in the area through mid-February.
• Dunlop Resealing Program: Localized lane closures will be in effect throughout Sunday for essential road resealing. Specific impacts include Traeger Street (9:00 am to 4:30 pm), while Durkin Street, Lovely Close, and Buckmaster Crescent will see lane closures between 7:00 am and 8:00 pm.
• Northbourne Avenue Construction: The intersection of Northbourne Avenue and Alinga Street remains fully closed to all vehicle and pedestrian traffic as part of a month-long construction blitz for Light Rail Stage 2A. This closure is scheduled to remain in place until 5:00 am on Monday, 2 February.

Public Transport Alerts

Commuters utilizing the Transport Canberra network should be aware of major service changes concluding today. City bus interchange platforms 1, 2, 3, and 4 are closed until the final service this evening. Temporary platform arrangements remain active; however, full services are expected to return to the standard configuration starting Monday morning to coincide with the new school term and updated network timetable.

Health and Environmental Advisories

The ACT Health Protection Service and City Services have issued the following environmental health notices:

• Water Quality Alerts: Recent testing has indicated elevated bacteria levels in several local waterways. As a result, Yerra Beach and the designated swimming area at Tuggeranong Town Park are currently closed to primary contact activities. Residents are advised to check the official 'Water quality in lakes, ponds and rivers' dashboard before entering the water.
• Service Maintenance: The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) has announced scheduled system maintenance today. Their online portal and various digital services will be unavailable from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, though the public Register of Practitioners will remain accessible.

Canberrans are reminded to follow all posted detour signs and exercise caution near construction zones. For further details on these notices, residents may contact Access Canberra or visit the official ACT Government services website.
