Melton City Council manages the local road network.

One of our roles is to approve works that would impact on the road network including road and lane closures.

Council will often receive applications from developers for the temporary closure of a road to allow them to undertake road works safely.

Developers are installing a signalised intersection at Banchory Avenue and Melton Highway. The project commenced in early 2026 and is being constructed in three stages. The first two stages are close to completion with stage 3 commencing soon. This stage requires the temporary closure of Banchory Avenue, Hillside at Melton Highway.

The developers have approached Council requesting the temporary closure of Banchory Avenue at Melton Highway for approximately two months commencing Monday 4 May 2026 to complete the project.

This is required due to the nature of the works which requires deep excavation, construction of footpaths, kerbing, line marking and installation of the traffic lights. The closure has approval from Department of Planning and Transport as there is an impact on Melton Highway.

Road users will be able to enter and exit Banchory Avenue via The Parks.
