Pakenham main street with cars

Rapid population growth is leading to record car ownership and increased pressure on the local transport network, gridlocking traffic and slowing down commutes through and within our region.

We need roads projects that will alleviate congestion and improve safety and liveability for our community.

We’re calling for urgent upgrades and safety improvements for the roads listed below.
