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.

Due to delays in the project, The Department of Transport, as the responsible authority, has approved a one-month extension to the closure of Banchory Avenue at Melton Highway until Friday 11 September 2026 for developer works to install traffic lights at the intersection.

Powercor has completed its audit of the project, and the site will soon be handed over so the tie-in process to the broader electricity network can begin.

To prepare for energisation, further traffic signal works will take place from Monday 17 August to Friday 21 August 2026. Some short-term lane closures will be required outside peak travel times.

We understand the project delays have been frustrating, and we thank the community for their patience and understanding as we complete this important upgrade to Taylors Road.

Works to upgrade Taylors Road will continue. For further information on the projects, visit: Taylors Road Corridor Upgrade Plan webpage.
