Wyndham residents have taken up the chance to give their feedback on plans to upgrade eight of the municipality’s most traffic-clogged roads.
The state government unveiled plans last November to duplicate or upgrade:
•Dunnings Road and Palmers Road, from Point Cook Road to Princes Freeway, Point Cook;
•Palmers Road, from Princes Freeway to Western Freeway, Truganina;
•Derrimut Road, from Sayers Road to Dohertys Road, Tarneit;
•Leakes Road, from Fitzgerald Road to Derrimut Road, Truganina;
•Dohertys Road, from Fitzgerald Road to Grieve Parade, Laverton North;
•Dohertys Road, from Foundation Road to Palmers Road, Truganina;
•Princes Freeway/Forsyth Road interchange, Hoppers Crossing; and,
•Duncans Road interchange, Werribee/Werribee South.
Community consultation wrapped up last week, with the government taking on board 863 comments via the VicRoads’ website, 14,000 visits to the “engageVicRoads” web page, and 500 face-to-face conversations at six pop-up information booths. Most feedback was about current road use and technical inquiries about the scope of works.
The state government has shortlisted Netflow, Western Improvement Network and Western Roads Partnership to tender for the projects.
