The Taylors Road corridor is a vital east-west link within the City of Melton located between the Melton Highway and Western Freeway. This key thoroughfare currently services the established areas of Caroline Springs, Burnside Heights, and Taylors Hill, as well as rapidly expanding communities like Aintree, Bonnie Brook, Fraser Rise, and Deanside.
As part of the broader Taylors Road Corridor Upgrade Plan, Melton City Council is committed to improving safety and alleviating congestion by implementing crucial infrastructure upgrades across key locations along the route.
