The Victorian State Government has commenced planning the upgrade of the Point Cook Road and Central Avenue intersection in Altona Meadows which aims to reduce travel times, improve safety and walking and cycling connections.

The project is being delivered by Victoria's Big Build and has been designed to cater for population growth by:

  • removing the existing roundabout and replacing it with traffic lights
  • adding an outbound exit ramp to connect to the intersection
  • adding new lanes on Point Cook Road and Central Avenue near the intersection
  • adding pedestrian crossings and upgrading walking and cycling paths at the intersection.

Disruptions and Project Updates

From Monday 7 April to Friday 16 May 2025, project team members will be at the site conducting non-destructive digging and geotechnical sampling.
