Melton council has teamed up with developer 3L Alliance to create a new signalised intersection to a new estate in Rockbank.
Located at Greigs Road and Innovation Avenue, it provides direct access to the south entrance of the Bridgefield estate.
The project, which took nine months to complete, aimed to increase safety and make for a more efficient flow of traffic through the series of traffic lights and turning lanes.
There are 1000 homes in the estate, which is progressively being occupied and once full will add a further 3000 residents to the Rockbank area.
3L Alliance senior development manager Niki Brown said the collaboration with council was exemplary and helped to make the Bridgefield community more liveable.
“Through this approach, we’ve been able to accelerate the delivery of vital infrastructure, granting residents early access and demonstrating our ability to achieve tangible results through effective partnership,” she said.
Melton mayor Kathy Majdlik said this planning method supported residential and commercial growth and highlighted a new way forward on important road infrastructure.
“This project is a wonderful example of how the required road infrastructure can be delivered when it is most needed by our community,” she said.
“Council works hard to deliver the right infrastructure and at the right time, and as a growth area there is always more to be done.”
“Developers play an integral role ensuring ours is a liveable city by providing residential estates and creating jobs through commercial development.”
Innovation Avenue is an 850 metre long road that residents can use to go to Rockbank Station, wetland walking trails, sports precinct, and community centre.
