Overview
Gregadoo Road, located between Plumpton and Mitchell Roads, is part of a strategic east-west link in the southern part of the city joining southern suburbs and provides access to several residents, educational institutions, businesses and the Gregadoo Waste Management Centre.
The poor condition of the existing Gregadoo Road between Plumpton Road and Plunkett Drive has created drainage, flood and traffic management risk issues that require remedial attention.
As such, this part of the road will be designed and constructed in Stage 1 of the overall remediation and reconstruction of Gregadoo Road.
The works will be carried out in the following two stages:
- Stage 1 – from approximately 140 metres East of intersection with Plunkett Drive to the intersection with Plumpton Road
- Stage 2 – Remainder of the road up to the intersection with Mitchell Road to be completed based on budget allocations.
