Planning and development

Planning work is underway and key activities include:

• traffic analysis and modelling, to better understand the future growth of the area and the demand this will place on the road network
• engineering and environmental investigations
• developing a design.

Our initial planning work will be complete in 2027 and will be used to inform government decisions on future funding.

Community feedback

From 20 March to 12 April 2026, we asked for community views to help inform our planning. We received 813 responses to our survey, 249 comments were made on our interactive map, and 51 people attended our community pop-up.

Feedback has provided important local insights, helping us better understand community views on safety, traffic flow and other key considerations for planning. Feedback received is being used to inform our planning work.

Site investigations

To help inform our planning, a range of site investigations will be undertaken. At times, we may need to implement traffic control measures, including temporary lane closures, stop/slow traffic and reduced speeds. We’ll keep traffic disruption to a minimum and avoid busy periods, where possible.
