We want to work with all levels of Government to develop a bypass for the existing 165-year-old bridge in Bulla to improve safety, drive economic growth and better service a growing community.

Federal Electorate: Hawke

State Electorate: Sunbury

The proposed Bulla Bypass is an arterial road that is critical to relieving pressure on the Sunbury-Bulla Road and improving connectivity between Sunbury and the existing and future employment nodes and service centres in the Northern Growth Corridor. Currently the Sunbury and Bulla communities are serviced by a single lane bluestone arched bridge built in 1859.

Sunbury’s population is expected to grow from 42,494 to over 86,000 in the next 20 years. Development of over 19,000 new houses has begun along Lancefield Road and the Sunbury South precinct. This new housing is adding more traffic directly on to Sunbury-Bulla Road, with volumes reaching 27,000 vehicles per day.
