Upgrading Donnybrook Road

We need State and Federal Government investment to upgrade Donnybrook Road between Mitchell Street and Dwyer Street along with the duplication of Donnybrook Road from Mickleham Road, Mickleham to Epping Road, Woodstock.

Federal Electorate: McEwen

State Electorate: Kalkallo

Given the significant traffic volumes east of Dwyer Street Kalkallo, Council’s priority is for the duplication of Donnybrook Road from the northern Hume Freeway exit (east of Polaris Road) to Dwyer Street followed by the duplication of the road from Dwyer Street to Donnybrook Station.

The significant congestion issues currently facing the road, are impacting on the ability for people to get in and out of their communities, restricting safe passage for emergency services and hampering active transport all of which is affecting livability for the residents of Mickleham and Kalkallo.

The road cannot cater for the population as it stands today – it is important that improvements be made to support the community today and future proof it for the residents who will soon call this part of Melbourne’s north home.

The Federal and Victorian State Government have recently committed $125 million to upgrade Donnybrook Road from the Hume Freeway exit to Dwyer Street, which is an excellent start but more is needed.

Project outcome

Duplication of Donnybrook Road from the northern Freeway exit (east of Polaris Road) to Mitchell Street, which includes the overpass over the Hume Freeway. Duplication of Donnybrook Road from Dwyer Street to Donnybrook Station, which includes active transport options.
