Fraser Rise residents are being called to have their say on proposed traffic changes linked to the construction of a new intersection at Saric Street on Taylors Road.
Melton council has received a request from a developer to deliver the new intersection and is seeking community feedback on traffic management arrangements during the build.
To allow the works to proceed, Krateron Street will be closed at Taylors Road, starting Monday 23 February and remaining closed until October.
A temporary no right turn into or out of Chateau Promenade will also be in place during this period.
Once construction is complete, right turns into and out of Chateau Promenade will be reinstated, while Krateron Street will remain permanently closed to traffic on Taylors Road, with residents instead accessing Taylors Road via the new Saric Street intersection.
Council said Krateron Street was not designed with higher traffic volumes in mind, and the long-term plan has always been for vehicles to use the wider Saric Street, which connects directly to Hume Drive.
During the works, detours will be in place via Saric Street, Hume Drive and City Vista Court. Alternative routes will also apply for right turns at Chateau Promenade using the Sinclairs Road roundabout.
Community members are invited to share their feedback on council’s website until Monday 2 February.
