Reporting on the work at the September Council meeting Mr Rath said the project is expected to commence in November this year.
Mr Rath told the meeting Council staff are meeting weekly with its project management office (PMO) and are making good headway.
"Council has been working closely with the PMO to develop a preliminary timeline which is pragmatic and derived from a holistic approach," he reported to the meeting.
"Once a timeline is finalised, all key stakeholders and business owners will be consulted so as to ensure minimal disruption and transparency to those who will be affected.
"Council is currently compiling work packages which incorporates tender documents where appropriate for all components of the project; these packages will be broken down to a level to ensure local contractors have the opportunity to bid.
"By employing local contractors, it not only stimulates economic growth but also upskills the local workforce," he said.
