Christmas and new year public holiday hours

There will be changes to opening hours over the Christmas and New Year holiday period.

Road works and closures

As one of Australia’s fastest growing municipalities, at times, roadwork will require the partial or complete closure of roads within the City of Melton to build new roads and intersections or manage the safety of motorists during events.

Please note every effort is made to reduce the impacts these works have on our road network however where needed appropriate detours will be implemented. Please follow detours accordingly and adhere to the regulatory signage that is present.

Annual sealed road renewal program

The project involves the resurfacing of various asphalt roads within the municipality through Council’s Annual Sealed Road Renewal Program.

Council is committed to delivering safe road infrastructure to the community in a financially responsible manner. As part of this commitment. Council undertakes an annual asphalt resurfacing program through its Capital Works Program to maximise the useful life of road-based assets, and to maintain the best possible condition of roads throughout their life cycle.

This program will provide newly surfaced roads that will extend the useful life of those assets and provide a road surface that is safe for road users to travel on. By extending the life of the asset we extend the amount of time before a full reconstruction is required, thus spending less money on the assets in the long term.
