The highly anticipated upgrade is supported by $685,000 funding through the Black Spot Program and is designed to improve safety and reduce accidents.

Residents may have noticed that the intersection now has a roundabout, with the central island kerbing now visible.

Please note that while roundabout is currently operational, minor works are still being completed. This includes the construction of mountable concrete aprons around the central island. These are an important part of the design, helping control speeds and discouraging vehicles from driving straight through the roundabout, while still allowing larger vehicles like buses and trucks to safely navigate it.

Originally, the intersection was expected to be fully closed during construction. To reduce disruption to the community, traffic has instead been maintained through the site under reduced speeds and partial lane closures. This means some elements of the roundabout are being introduced progressively rather than all at once.

As with any new traffic treatment, there is an adjustment period while drivers become familiar with the new layout.

Motorists are reminded to:

• Slow down and approach the roundabout with caution
• Be mindful that further concrete works are still to be completed
• Allow extra time, especially during peak periods
• Be considerate of other road users, including heavy vehicles and buses

The City appreciates the community’s patience while these final finishing works are completed. Further updates will be provided once the remaining construction is finished and the roundabout is fully complete.
