Yarra Road and Jumping Creek Road intersection upgrade
Works update
Thank you for your patience during major works at Jumping Creek Road and Dudley Road. Over the September school holidays, we completed service relocations, road reconstruction and asphalting on Dudley Road. Works now move to the south side of the Yarra Road intersection and along Jumping Creek Road between Dudley Road and Vine Crescent, continuing until late December. We understand that the works, especially night works, have caused some disruption and we appreciate the community’s ongoing support.
We’ll be working days and nights over the coming months to safely complete complex drainage and service relocations, reduce traffic impacts and shorten construction time. This will allow most of the disruptive roadworks to finish before the Christmas holidays.
Travel and local access
Please plan ahead and allow extra travel time. Shops along Jumping Creek Road and Launders Avenue remain open and accessible. Toppings Road bus services will continue on the current detour.
Nearby road repairs
We’re monitoring pavement conditions in surrounding streets and are planning repairs to address pavement issues in the nearby road network. To minimise further impacts on residents, we have revised our construction schedule to consider the Christmas holiday period, bushfire season and local traffic needs.
Key dates
Date | Area and type of works |
Ongoing until 10 November | Works will continue along Jumping Creek Road during the day and will consist of drainage and general road works. |
From 10 November till the first week of December | Based on our previously communicated staging plan, we will be closing the intersection of Yarra Road and Jumping Creek Road to complete the intersection upgrade including drainage and road pavement works. Detours will be in place for traffic entering or exiting Yarra Road. |
Nightworks from 15 till 29 November
| We are undertaking nightworks for a 2-week period to complete the installation of underground drainage around the Yarra Road and Jumping Creek Road intersection. Detours will be in place for traffic entering or exiting Yarra Road. |
| December 2026 and January 2027 | The remaining works to complete the project will involve reconstruction of the road pavement between Yarra Road and Vine Crescent. We’re looking at the best way to complete the remaining road, and footpath works between Yarra Road and Vine Crescent, noting the upcoming holiday breaks An update will be provided to residents in late November. |
Noise and environmental controls during works
We have listened to resident feedback and will be placing additional controls during the night works:
- where feasible, we’ll program noisier works for the earlier parts of the evening
- we’re installing acoustic panels around the construction site to reduce the impacts of noise
- we’re working to reduce impacts from dust and lighting.
Traffic on Launders Avenue and Hartley Road
We understand that the closure of Yarra Road at the intersection of Jumping Creek Road will likely lead to more traffic using Launders Avenue and Hartley Road. As these roads are not suitable for the additional anticipated traffic volumes we will be temporarily closing to through traffic from Friday 6 November 2026.
Barriers will be placed at the bend of Hartley and Launders Avenue and resident access will be maintained. To facilitate the collection of waste we will be using a smaller truck, which will mean residents’ recycling and non-recyclable waste will be collected at the same time.
Driveway and crossover works
We are aware that some residents are experiencing driveway access issues following recent works. We are working to resolve these issues and will contact affected residents in the coming weeks.
