Roads and Traffic

In February, Council commenced the reconstruction of Hanson Road between Creekwood Drive and Malcolm Creek Parade. The major roadworks have now been completed. Hanson Road, Malcolm Creek Parade, Elsternwick Way and the roundabout are open to traffic.

The remaining public lighting works are currently underway. Residents and road users may experience minor traffic disruptions during October while these works are undertaken.

We thank residents and road users for their patience and understanding as we finalise these important improvements.
