Bulmans Road Urbanisation Project Stage 1, Melton West & Harkness

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)

 

Public lighting update December 2025:

Following completion of construction works in January 2025, Council has been working with its contractors and the relevant authorities to complete the various requirements to activate the street lighting.

As part of the audit process some technical issues were identified, which we have been working to resolve. Subject to final approvals, is it anticipated that the majority of the public lighting will be turned on in early 2026.

Temporary lighting is in place until the street lighting is operational.
