Project Background

The City of Melton Rural Interface and Growth Area Road Upgrade Strategy (RIGARUS) has been developed to provide Council with a comprehensive guide for the management of roads in our rural, interface and growth areas.

Thank you to everyone that previously participated in our consultation to identify issues and opportunities on our transport networks as part of RIGARUS. We have used the technical analysis and community consultation information to create the Draft Rural Interface and Growth Area Road Upgrade Strategy.

Below are the steps we have taken so far:

Where our community believes there are issues or opportunities to improve our transport networks in rural, interface and growth areas.

  1. Our transport networks aren’t keeping up with the growth of our community, with congestion and missing connections for roads and paths being key issues.
  2. We need to continue advocating to state and federal governments to improve our arterial road and public transport networks.
  1. Drafted an action plan to improve roads and lighting in rural and interface areas.
  2. Reviewed our procedures when working with developers to prioritise early delivery of transport infrastructure in growth areas.
  3. Committed to continuing to advocate to state and federal governments for improvements to our arterial road and public transport networks.
  4. Committed to the delivery of upgrades to Council-managed roads outside of Precinct Structure Plan areas.
