Residents and businesses have the opportunity to have their say on the potential upgrade of the Point Cook Road and Central Avenue intersection.
Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) is running a community consultation from March 13 to April 2, seeking feedback on how the roundabout and connecting roads are currently used, as well as any safety and traffic flow concerns.
All the information collected will be used to understand the environmental and social impacts, create design options, and confirm the scope and costs of different options.
A business case is expected to be completed by late 2023. MRPV project development director Michael McLean said that both in–person and online consultation will be available. “We want to understand how the people using this intersection travel, what their worries are, and what we need to think about when planning for the upgrade,” he said.
From March 2023, roadside technical investigations will be conducted, which may require temporary lane closures, stop/slow traffic, and reduced speed limits in the area. However, these measures will be kept to a minimum and busy periods will be avoided.
