Hills Shire Council Upgrades Annangrove Road for Box Hill Growth Area

The Hills Shire Council released an update on 14 May 2026 detailing ongoing work on the Annangrove Road Upgrade between Windsor Road and the new Edwards Road roundabout. This project forms part of the council's approach to managing development pressures through targeted road improvements in the Box Hill Release Area.

Planning Background for the Release Area

Box Hill was designated a new release area under the NSW Government’s North West Priority Growth Area. Council planning guidelines and building development processes guide how growth occurs, with road projects serving as one direct response to increased transport needs. The upgrade decision reflects ongoing local service delivery aimed at keeping pace with residential and commercial expansion in the area.

Specific Road Improvements Underway

The upgraded section runs from Windsor Road to the new Edwards Road roundabout. Works target several outcomes including reduced traffic congestion, greater safety for motorists, shorter travel times, dedicated space for pedestrians and cyclists, and capacity to serve Box Hill, Rouse Hill and the wider region. These measures represent concrete local decisions on infrastructure that tie directly to the release area’s transport requirements.

Council documentation lists the project among ongoing works under construction, with updates provided through the Business Building section of the official site. The emphasis remains on meeting documented growth needs rather than broader regional comparisons.
