NORTH-EAST: Local roads need attention


“It came as no surprise that the Greensborough Bypass and Diamond Creek Rd roundabout topped the most dangerous intersections in the RACV’s 2025 My Melbourne Road campaign,” Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish has told Parliament.
“It takes a bit of navigation and you need your wits around you as you navigate this big and complex roundabout, which carries a large volume of traffic which will only grow on the completion of the North East Link,” Ms McLeish said.
“Up there too are three notorious intersections in the Whittlesea shire [sic] which need prompt attention.
“Whittlesea LGA is growing so quickly infrastructure cannot keep up.
“I urge the government to work with Nillumbik and Whittlesea shires to address these intersections.
“In Thomastown the Dalton Rd and Settlement Rd roundabout and the intersection of High St and Settlement Rd need attention.
“In Epping it is the High St and Rufus St roundabout. The government needs to give local roads greater attention, because at the moment these important intersections are being ignored,” Ms McLeish said
