Melton City Council manages the local road network and is responsible for approving works that impact traffic, including road and lane closures.

Council has received a request from a developer to undertake road rehabilitation works, installation of a new water main and upgraded drainage along Melton Valley Drive, Melton, for approximately 200 metres to the Federation Drive roundabout.

Due to the nature, extent and safety requirements of these works, a temporary full road closure is required. These works cannot be undertaken while the road remains open to traffic.

The temporary road closure is required for up to nine weeks, commencing the week of 13 April 2026, with the road expected to reopen in early June 2026 (subject to weather and construction progress).

During the temporary road closure, road users will be able to enter and exit Melton Valley Drive via High Street, Melton. All businesses and their customers will continue to have access from High Street. Detours will be in place via Yuille Street and Melton Highway.

Advance signage will be installed to notify road users of the closure, detour routes and continued access to local businesses.
