Bulmans Road Urbanisation Project Stage 1, Melton West & Harkness

Announcement

Since construction wrapped up in January 2025, we’ve been working with contractors and authorities to switch on the new street lighting.

A few technical issues came up during audits and are being resolved. Pending final approvals, most lights are expected to be on by mid-2026. Temporary lighting is in place in the meantime.

We upgraded the Bulmans Road Corridor from Westlake Drive to Centenary Avenue.

Bulmans Road is an important link within the City of Melton. It connects the suburbs of Harkness and Melton West to the township of Melton, Woodgrove Shopping Centre and the Western Freeway. Currently the two schools along Bulmans Road, Catholic Regional College (CRC) and St Catherine of Siena Primary School, generate significant traffic volumes resulting in safety and congestion concerns. This project will help address these concerns for all users, including pedestrians.

The project scope of works included:

  • Urbanisation of Bulmans Road (kerbs, underground drainage, centre median islands)
  • Road widening and realignment
  • Additional services roads
  • Formalised on-Street parking
  • Shared paths and footpath links
  • Cyclist lanes and links
  • Landscaping
  • Public lighting realignment (see below)
  • Underground services relocations (electricity, water, gas, and communications)
