Hanson Road, Craigieburn - Changed traffic conditions (Council works)

In February, we started works on the Hanson Road Reconstruction between Creekwood Drive and Malcolm Creek Parade.

What’s happening:

  • road reconstruction for a smoother journey

  • kerb, channel and drainage upgrades.

Works are expected to be completed by July 2026, weather permitting.

Latest update: We understand the frustration caused by congestion and thank you for your patience.

Hanson Road between Creekwood Drive and Malcom Creek Parade remains closed to allow critical roadworks and roundabout construction to be carried out safely. This section is expected to remain closed until late July 2026.

What’s changing:

  • Access from Hanson Road to Creekwood Drive is planned to reopen by midday on Saturday 23 May
  • As works progress, traffic management will be adjusted to improve access, with at least one of Creekwood Drive or Malcom Creek Parade open at all times
  • We are working towards reopening Hanson Road to one-way traffic as soon as it is safe to do so.

We appreciate your patience while we complete these important works as quickly and safely as possible.

As part of upcoming stormwater drainage and road construction works, a temporary traffic switch will be introduced in the area.

Balbethan Drive

  • Closed to through‑traffic at the intersection with Stockwell Drive
  • Local resident access only, via a designated access track
  • All driveway access will be maintained unless alternative arrangements have been agreed directly with residents
  • Safety barriers will be installed to separate traffic from the construction area

Stockwell Drive

  • Traffic conditions will remain largely unchanged
  • Vehicles will no longer be able to travel through to Balbethan Drive and must turn around

These changes are required to support the safe and efficient delivery of essential drainage and road infrastructure while minimising disruption to local residents.
