How will transport and traffic be managed?

The VPA commissioned Jacobs to undertake a transport assessment for the precinct to test the proposed new roads and projected traffic demand on the Ballarat transport network.

To support safe and smooth movement within and around Ballarat North, the PSP will assist with the delivery of the following transport infrastructure:

• A street network that will support local traffic and will be designed to be able to accommodate future bus routes.

• Upgrades to existing roads such as Gillies Road and Midland Highway to allow for more safe and efficient traffic movement and provide improved connections to Ballarat and surrounds.

• A bridge upgrade across Burrumbeet Creek at Cummins Road to connect the PSP and Miners Rest

• An extensive network of walking and cycling pathways that connects parks, sports reserves, schools and other key destinations.
