Hume Council Adopts Roxburgh Park Traffic Plan for 2026/27 Implementation

Hume City Council adopted the Final Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) Plan for Roxburgh Park (east) on Monday, 23 June 2025, after receiving 180 survey responses during community feedback. The decision directly affects traffic speeds, parking and pedestrian connectivity in the area east of Roxburgh Park.

Traffic Plan Sets Implementation Path

The adopted plan now moves toward action through the council's proposed allocation of up to $242,500 in the 2026/27 budget. This funding would begin treatments addressing traffic speeds, parking and pedestrian connectivity across Roxburgh Park (east). Residents and local road users will see the first concrete measures once the budget is confirmed and works are scheduled.

Reserve Projects Provide Recent Precedent

Works are underway on a $500,000 Victorian Government-backed pavilion upgrade at Lakeside Reserve in Roxburgh Park, supported by a $1.75 million contribution from Hume City Council and due for completion in early 2026. Separately, Hume City Council refurbished and extended the change room at Lakeside Drive Reserve in partnership with the Victorian Government, which contributed $500,000 to that project. These completed and active reserve works show how council decisions translate into funded outcomes on the ground.

Past Road Project Offers Context

The Roxburgh Park Drive duplication project added lanes between Donald Cameron Drive and James Mirams Drive and was completed in late 2020 at a total cost of $2,588,582. That earlier project demonstrates the scale of previous infrastructure decisions in the suburb and provides a reference point for how new traffic management actions may unfold.

What Happens Next

The next key decisions centre on confirmation of the 2026/27 budget allocation and the sequencing of traffic treatments in Roxburgh Park (east). Council processes will determine timing and specific locations once funding is approved.
