The Plumpton Road Upgrade project consists of upgrades to Plumpton Road, including intersections between Lake Albert Road in the north and Rowan Road in the south.

The project will also deliver key improvements to surrounding Active Travel and stormwater infrastructure.

• 4 (four) kilometres of Plumpton Road will be duplicated between Lake Albert Road and Lloyd Road intersections.
• The duplication will involve widening Plumpton Road from two (2) to four (4) lanes.
• 1.2 kilometres of Plumpton Road, south of Lloyd Road, will be maintained as two lanes.

Lake Albert Road: The intersection will be improved by street lighting and increased line of sight. An application to install traffic lights and upgraded pedestrian crossings at this intersection was declined by Transport for NSW.

Red Hill Road / Kooringal Road: An application has been approved by Transport for NSW to install traffic lights and pedestrian activated crossings on Red Hill Road where it intersects with Plumpton and Kooringal Roads. This intersection will also benefit from improved street lighting and line of sight.

Lansdowne Avenue: An upgraded intersection with improved street lighting and line of sight.

Stirling Boulevard: A new dual lane roundabout with pedestrian refuge islands on all legs and street lighting.

Nelson Drive: An upgraded intersection with improved street lighting and line of sight.

Springvale Drive: An upgraded intersection with improved street lighting and line of sight.

Gregadoo Road: The intersection will be improved by a new dual lane roundabout with pedestrian refuge islands and street lighting across both Gregadoo Road and Plumpton Road. An application to Transport for NSW to install traffic lights and pedestrian activated crossings, was declined.

Aspen Road: This intersection will be removed where it meets Plumpton Road and replaced with a cul-de-sac. See further details below.

Lloyd Road: A new channelised intersection will be created in this location with a dedicated right-turn lane into Lloyd Road and a dedicated acceleration lane for those turning left from Lloyd Road onto Plumpton Road.

While minor aesthetic or functional upgrades (such as renewed road pavement) may occur, no changes are proposed for the intersections at the following locations:

• Cochrane Street
• Cook Street
• Rowan Road

After consultation with affected residents, Aspen Road at its intersection with Plumpton Road will be closed via the creation of a cul-de-sac.

This update is designed to improve safety on Aspen Road and improve the efficiency of the wider road network.

The improvement opportunity was identified during surveying undertaken for this project. Further information is available here.

Pedestrian and cyclist access will be created between Aspen Road and Plumpton Road via a shared pathway connecting into the cul-de-sac.

• Subject to assessment and approval by Transport for NSW, it is proposed that the speed limit between Lake Albert Road and Lloyd Road - including part of Lloyd Road leading into Plumpton Road - be adjusted to 60 km/h.
• All other speed limits are proposed to remain unchanged.

• The existing walking track along the eastern side of Plumpton Road will be upgraded to a 3-metre-wide concrete shared path (shared between cyclists and pedestrians).
• The shared path will extend continue south towards Rowan, heading down both Lloyd Road and Plumpton Road. In future, this shared path will connect into the Southern Growth Area (SGA).
• A new wider footpath (1.5 metres) will be installed on the western side of Plumpton Road leading from the traffic lights at Red Hill Road connecting into Grampian Place, Barwon Place and Kimberley Drive. This path is designed to create convenient pedestrian access from these areas of Tatton onto Plumpton Road.
• A new footpath (1.5 metres) will be installed on the western side of Plumpton Road, from Stirling Boulevard to Springvale Drive. Pedestrian refuge crossings will be provided at Springvale Drive and Stirling Boulevard to connect this path into the wider network.

• Between Lake Albert Road and Nelson Drive, Plumpton Road will be upgraded to an urban kerb and gutter style drainage.
• South of Nelson Drive, Plumpton Road will be upgraded to a semi-urban drainage standard with formed swale drains adjacent to the road and some kerb and gutter.
• Works will be completed to upsize the culverts under Plumpton Road at the Stringybark Creek Diversion Channel to alleviate flooding in larger rain events.
• A large stormwater channel will be constructed between Lloyd Road and Stringybark Creek to alleviate flooding in larger rain events.

• On-street concrete parking bays will be constructed on Plumpton Road between Lake Albert Road and Red Hill Road intersection to allow for road widening. These will be similar to the existing parking bays on Lake Albert Road. No property acquisition will be required.
• Alignment for road and footpaths will be carefully selected during detailed design to avoid any unnecessary removal of trees and in accordance with the requirements of the REF (Review of Environmental Factors).
• Any street trees removed will be replaced with new plantings in accordance with the Street Tree Policy.
• As required, driveways will be reconstructed to connect with the new road. Driveways will be constructed to the same width and material as existing, or to the Council standard, whichever is greater.
