Road works and closures

As one of Australia’s fastest-growing councils, new roads, intersections and community events sometimes require temporary road closures or traffic changes to keep everyone safe.

We aim to minimise disruption and provide clear detours and signage where needed. While we keep this page as up to date as possible, works can change at short notice due to weather, construction needs or updates from developers and state agencies. Some specialised programs, like road resealing, are listed on separate project pages or on other state or federal websites.

Please note, this is not an extensive list of works happening within the City of Melton.
