Melton Highway infill duplication project
We’ve upgraded Melton Highway between Crown Drive, Fraser Rise and The Regency in Hillside to improve safety and provide road users with smoother, more reliable journeys.
10/03/2026
Construction began in July 2025 and was completed one month ahead of schedule, with all lanes on Melton Highway open on 6 March 2026.
Update March 2026
While major works are complete, there will be minor finishing works along Melton Highway, including site clean-up and landscaping for the upcoming planting season later this year. Lane closure may be needed at times to complete these works.
We thank the community for their patience while we completed these important works.

As part of this upgrade we:
- added an extra lane in each direction between Crown Drive and The Regency

- relocated and protected utility services including telecommunications and NBN.
