Overview
We’re planning for a future upgrade of Point Cook Road, between Jamieson Way and Dunnings Road in Point Cook to improve safety and increase road capacity to cater for population growth.
Options being explored include:
- adding more lanes
- upgrading intersections
- building cycling and walking paths.
Planning and development
Planning work includes traffic modelling, engineering designs, construction assessments, economic modelling, and environmental investigations.
This work will give us a complete picture of the area, allow us to understand environmental and social impacts, develop project options, and determine costs of different options to help inform government decision-making.
A business case will be developed to provide a detailed examination of the future road upgrade to help inform government decisions on funding.
We expect our initial planning work will be complete in early 2027.
Community feedback
From 20 April to 10 May 2026, we sought community feedback to help inform our planning.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate. We received 456 responses to our survey, 128 comments on our interactive map, and engaged with 97 people at our community pop-up.
This feedback has provided important local insights, helping us to better understand community views on safety, traffic flow and other key considerations for planning.
Key themes from the feedback include:
- Strong support for upgrading Point Cook Road, including adding additional lanes between Jamieson Way and Dunnings Road.
- Strong support for replacing the existing roundabout at Point Cook Road and Jamieson Way with traffic lights.
- Suggestions to improve active and public transport infrastructure, including on-road bike lanes, a walking and cycling path, indented bus bays to reduce traffic delays, and a new signalised pedestrian crossing for Lumen Christi Primary School students.

Site investigations
To help inform 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. Traffic disruption will be kept to a minimum and busy periods will be avoided, where possible.
