Northern suburbs local roads

As part of the State Government’s election commitments, we are undertaking the Northern Suburbs Local Roads upgrades. This initiative involves planning, designing and constructing upgrades to improve access to and from the local roads and improved access for vehicles to travel north from Salisbury Heights. The project locations include the junction of Main North Road and Target Hill Road and The Grove Way junctions with Canterbury Drive and Green Valley Drive.

In late 2022, we sought community feedback to help inform the planning for these upgrades.  These local insights informed the development of the proposed concept designs, which were available for public feedback until Sunday 3 March 2024. Thank you to all members of the community who took the time to provide feedback. We are currently reviewing all feedback received, which will continue to assist the project team to understand the priorities and opportunities that are important for the local community.
