Jumping Creek Road Upgrade

The Jumping Creek Road upgrade project is a major project to reconstruct the full length of Jumping Creek Road from Ringwood-Warrandyte Road in Warrandyte to Homestead Road in Wonga Park.

The Jumping Creek Road Development Framework was endorsed by Council in 2016.

The first section of the road to be reconstructed is between Ringwood-Warrandyte Road and Nelson Drive in Warrandyte. Planning for this section of road is now complete and construction works started in April 2020

Jumping Creek Road

Jumping Creek Road is an important local link road that carries more than 8,100 vehicles per day, with the traffic volume expected to double to 15,000 vehicles per day by 2035.

Jumping Creek Road connects Ringwood-Warrandyte Road in Warrandyte to Homestead Road in Wonga Park, as well as surrounding suburbs and the tourist destinations of the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong Ranges.

Between January 2009 and December 2013, a total of 17 crashes resulting in casualties were reported at Jumping Creek Road, including one fatal crash.

The Jumping Creek Road upgrade will deliver safe, sustainable, functional and site responsive infrastructure that protects and enhances the local landscape.

Jumping Creek Road Community Reference Panel

In January 2017, Council established a Jumping Creek Road Community Reference Panel, which consists of both residents and relevant local business and community group representatives.

The panel is an opportunity for Council to provide updates, highlight issues, respond to queries and share ideas with the community and to receive feedback on proposals about the design and reconstruction of Jumping Creek Road.

The panel also considers issues previously raised by the community during the consultation process for the Jumping Creek Road Development Framework.
