Background
Council has successfully secured funding through the State Government Road Safety Package – Black Spot Program to upgrade the Finns Rd and Remembrance Driveway intersection to a two lane roundabout.
The introduction of the roundabout aims to address the poor crash record of the intersection and improve vehicle level of service for growing traffic volume.
Details
The upgrade will introduce a large diameter two lane roundabout with street lighting, non-skid road surface, kerb and gutter, widened shoulders and traffic calming features (new road alignments/levels, splitter islands, line marking and signage).

Impacts during Construction
The project will involve major road works with significant changes to traffic flow. Construction will be conducted in phases with each phase implementing a new intersection arrangement.
Reduced speed limits will be imposed throughout the project for the safety of road users and site staff.
Traffic delays are to be expected and road users are advised to plan for this in advance.
