Have your say on Hume’s traffic management plans

Have your say on Hume council’s proposed traffic management plans for Coolaroo and Roxburgh Park West.

According to the council, these plans were made in response to more 300 resident responses about traffic issues in April 2025.

Council is now calling for feedback on how it will spend the $252,500 funding set for traffic management in 2027-28.

In Roxburgh Park West, the council plans to build eight raised safety platforms on Roxburgh Park Drive to slow car speeds approaching roundabouts.

Other solutions in the area include a give way intersection from Shortridge Circuit to Kennedy Parade, a temporary pedestrian refuge on Silvester Parade and upgrades to the James Mirams Drive footpath.

In Coolaroo, a range of solutions are proposed for Kyabram Street including multiple raised safety platforms, a pram crossing, and improvements to line marking for give way intersections and bike lanes. Council said it is undertaking a separate investigation into parking concerns on the street.

Safety measures have been proposed for pedestrians accessing St Mary Coptic Orthodox College including a raised safety platform and a raised school crossing on Thorpdale Avenue.

Proposed measures near Coolaroo station include two s-curve traffic calming devices and a pedestrian crossing on Longford Crescent.

Council said it is aware of traffic concerns at Barry Road, and will raise this will the relevant body.
