Why is it needed?
The goal of the signalised intersection is to ease traffic congestion in the southern part of Doncaster Hill, helping residents to access Tram Road easily while also ensuring a safer road environment for both drivers and pedestrians.
This project is part of our long-term planning for the future. It is a key project outlined in the Doncaster Hill Strategy 2002 (2004), which anticipated a substantial rise in population due to high-density residential housing in the area.
This project is funded by our 2023/24 Capital Works Program.
