Donnybrook Road Upgrades

Moremac is pleased to share that planning is progressing on the road upgrades to improve Donnybrook Road. As part of The Victorian Government’s, Big Build Project further planning is taking place on a series of upgrades to make travel safer, quicker, and easier, while supporting the rapid growth in the surrounding community.

What this means for the Kinbrook community

The first stage of upgrades will focus on the Donnybrook Road and Mitchell Street intersection, aiming to improve safety and traffic flow. Construction timelines will be confirmed as planning progresses however longer-term upgrades along Donnybrook Road, from Mickleham Road to Epping Road, are also being considered to accommodate population growth and new housing developments in the area.

The immediate upgrades will consist of:

  • Replacing the existing roundabout with traffic lights.
  • Building a new bridge over Kalkallo Creek.
  • Adding extra traffic lanes at the intersection.
  • Installing safety barriers to ensure the safety of community members.

Results from the community consultation period.

Between June and July 2025, residents and road users were invited to share their thoughts on how Donnybrook Road could be improved. The response was overwhelming, with over 11,500 people visiting the online consultation page, 6,795 comment pins submitted, and 139 people attending face-to-face sessions at Merrifield City.

Key feedback from the community highlighted several priorities:
  • Bridge duplication and widening
    • The Donnybrook Road bridge over the Hume Freeway experiences significant congestion during peak periods. Residents stressed the need for additional lanes to keep traffic moving safely.
  • Additional lanes along Donnybrook Road
    • Many suggested at least two lanes in each direction to reduce travel times and prevent standstill traffic during accidents or high volumes.
  • Hume Freeway interchange improvements
    • Upgrades to this key intersection were seen as essential to easing traffic flow and reducing delays.
  • Walking and cycling paths
    • The community requested safe and continuous walking and cycling paths connecting schools, residential areas, and public transport hubs.

The project team will continue to keep the community updated as plans progress. For more information, visit Big Build VIC Big Builds Road page
