What we're doing

Planning Update – October 2026

Following further planning and design work in 2026, the final design for the project has been confirmed. The final design will replace the roundabouts with new signalised intersections to provide the best overall outcome for safety, traffic flow and connectivity.

The Sunshine Avenue Intersection Upgrades will:

replace two roundabouts on Sunshine Avenue at Melton Highway and Old Calder Highway with traffic lights
add additional lanes at the two new intersections
remove existing pedestrian crossings and add new signalised pedestrian crossings at the new intersections
construct new walking and cycling paths along Melton Highway and Sunshine Avenue
relocate the bus stop from the north side of Melton Highway to a new position on the east side of Sunshine Avenue
install new street lighting.

Benefits

Once complete, the project will deliver benefits including:

improved road safety
improved traffic flow
improved connectivity for pedestrians, cyclists and businesses.

What’s next

Planning work is progressing as the upgrades move towards construction in 2027.

We’re continuing with on-site investigations to test ground conditions and identify services throughout October 2026.

From mid-late October, crews will be working around Sunshine Avenue and Old Calder Highway. These works will occur between 7am and 6pm, Monday to Friday and will take place under temporary lane closures and reduced speeds along Sunshine Avenue and Old Calder Highway.

There will be some nights of nightworks during this period. We’ll let you know in advance when these works are being scheduled.
