Roxburgh Park East Traffic Plan Incorporates 100% Community Input, Council Confirms

Hume City Council adopted the Final Local Area Traffic Management Plan for Roxburgh Park East in June 2025 after receiving 180 community responses on speeds, crashes and parking. The plan sets out traffic treatments to address those issues in the area.

Resident Input on Local Traffic

The 180 responses gave council a direct record of concerns from people living in Roxburgh Park East. Council used that record to shape the treatments now listed in the adopted plan. The responses covered day-to-day conditions on local streets and the practical effects of traffic volumes and parking.

Proposed Funding for Next Steps

Up to $242,500 has been proposed in the 2026/27 Hume City Council budget to start carrying out the traffic management actions. This allocation would allow initial works to begin once the budget is confirmed. Council has already completed one earlier road project in the suburb, the duplication of a 1.6 km section of Roxburgh Park Drive, finished in late 2020 to ease delays and maintenance needs.

Related Works at Lakeside Reserve

Separate council-funded improvements are also moving ahead at Lakeside Reserve. Works are under way on a $1.75 million pavilion upgrade for the Roxburgh Park Football Netball Club, with completion expected in early 2026. At nearby Lakeside Drive Reserve, council previously delivered a reformatted and extended change room with $500,000 contributed by the Victorian Government. These projects sit alongside the traffic plan as current council activity affecting the same local community.

The adopted plan and the proposed budget allocation together show how the recorded community responses are now moving toward implementation. Residents who submitted feedback can follow updates through the council’s public channels as the 2026/27 budget process advances and early works are scheduled.
