Background

The intersection of the Henty Highway, Western Highway, Golf Course Road and Plumpton Road is one of Horsham’s key entrance points and caters for 18,000 vehicles per day, with 18 per cent of the volume heavy vehicles. Between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2023, there were 12 crashes at or near this intersection, with six resulting in serious injuries.

The Western and Henty Highways are relied on heavily by farming industry, grain production, regional tourism and manufacturing services. Golf Course Road and Plumpton Road service an industrial zone and are used heavily by freight. 

With traffic flow anticipated to increase due to population and industry growth in the region, we are constructing a new roundabout to simplify the intersection, and improve safety and efficiency for all road users.

Benefits

  • Reduced risk and severity of crashes
  • Improved access and traffic flow
  • Increased network capacity resulting in improved travel times and freight efficiency
  • Better access for local businesses
  • Safer and more accessible movements for pedestrians and cyclists
