The upgrade will include:
- replacing the roundabout with traffic lights and dedicated turning lanes
- adding bicycle boxes at traffic lights
- extending the central medians and installing dedicated U-turn areas
- installing new lighting and landscaping.
Background
This intersection meets Ballarat-Carngham Road and Learmonth Street making the intersection a critical connection point to Sebastopol, Lucas and Delacombe.
The current roundabout is often heavily congested at peak times and does not cater for Ballarat’s population growth.
At its busiest times, approximately 2200 vehicles use this intersection each day. This is expected to increase by 50 per cent by 2041. There were five crashes resulting in injury in this area between 2014 and 2019.

Update - February 2020
Service relocation works are expected to begin in mid to late 2020, before major construction in 2021.
We’ll update this webpage to provide construction dates.
