Derrimut Road and Boundary Road Intersection Upgrade

What we’re doing

The upgrade will: 

• replace the temporary traffic lights with permanent traffic lights 
• add dedicated right-turning lanes on all intersection approaches 
• add shared lanes to go straight or turn left on Boundary and Hopkins roads 
• add a dedicated left turning lane on Derrimut Road 

Background 

The Derrimut, Hopkins and Boundary roads intersection experiences large traffic volumes which causes delays for drivers in peak periods. 

This intersection connects the community to the Western Freeway in the north and the Princes Highway in the south. It also supports a large number of freight movements, with a significant number of industrial sites nearby.

Benefits 

• Improve safety. 
• Improve traffic flow 
• Reduce congestion. 
• Improve capacity.

What’s next? 

Detailed planning is currently underway, as the upgrade progresses toward construction. Key activities include: 

• on-site investigations including identifying underground utilities and testing ground conditions 
• developing the project design and construction approach 
• obtaining planning approvals 
• preparing a Cultural Heritage Management Plan 
• engaging with utility providers.

To help inform planning, a range of site assessments will be undertaken. To ensure these assessments are completed safely, there may be temporary lane closures and reduced speeds. Traffic disruption will be kept to a minimum and busy periods will be avoided, where possible. 

Planning and early works for the intersection upgrade is expected to be complete in 2026. Timelines for major construction will be known once our planning is further progressed.
