Hi All, just wanted to update up on current information back from VicRoads -

Regarding the traffic congestion on Palm Springs Road in Ravenhall. We understand the significant impact this has on productivity, safety, and the wellbeing of workers in the area.

Your enquiry reference number is 503544633.

Transport Victoria is aware of the growth in Ravenhall and the need for supporting road infrastructure. Melton City Council has identified a number of local roads for upgrades, urbanisation, and new construction to support the growing community. More information about these projects can be found here: https://www.movingmelton.com.au/councilprojects

Additionally, the Western Freeway Upgrade between Melton and Caroline Springs is progressing. This project aims to improve safety, freeway access, and road capacity to accommodate growing demand. Planning work completed to date includes preliminary traffic modelling, community engagement, land and soil investigations, environmental assessments, and economic evaluations. A program business case was completed in December 2024 to inform decision-making. The Australian Government committed $1 billion to the project in March 2025. More details can be found here: https://bigbuild.vic.gov.au/projects/roads/western-freeway-upgrade-melton-to-caroline-springs

Transport Victoria continues to work with Melton City Council to plan and prioritise infrastructure improvements to support safe and efficient travel for the growing community. We will continue to monitor traffic conditions in Ravenhall and consider opportunities for further improvements as the precinct grows.

Thanks again for getting in touch. We hope our response has addressed your enquiry, and we appreciate the opportunity to consider your feedback.
