Overview

We’ve undertaken planning to investigate the potential upgrade of Craigieburn Road East between the Hume Freeway entry ramp and Epping Road in Wollert.

As part of our planning, we sought potential solutions to:

  • improve traffic flow and reduce congestion to deliver a more reliable journey for motorists
  • improve safety and reduce the severity and incidence of crashes
  • provide better cycling and walking paths in the area.

Status

Planning work included traffic modelling, social studies and environmental investigations. This helped us to understand environmental and social impacts, develop design options, and confirm scope and costs of different options.

We’ve completed our development work and a business case has been completed. The business case is a comprehensive document that provides a detailed examination of the potential upgrade to help inform government decision-making.

What we heard

From 25 May to 12 June 2022, we asked for community for feedback on the potential Craigieburn Road East Upgrade via Engage Victoria. Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback.

Feedback was considered in our planning and helped us to understand how people use Craigieburn East Road as well as their views on access, efficiency, safety and what’s important in the local area.

For more information on what we heard, read the Community Consultation Summary (PDF, 5.1 MB).
