Better roads for Gembrook residents

Construction is underway in Gembrook on Beenak East Road as part of Cardinia Shire Council’s Better Local Roads – Sealing the Hills program.

The program will seal about 110 kilometres of unsealed road across more than 160 prioritised roads throughout the Cardinia Shire over the next eight years.

The works will include pavement construction, kerb channel construction, construction of traffic calming devices, drainage works, signage and line-marking.

The Better Local Roads – Sealing the Hills program is funded by $150 million from the Australian Government’s Sealing Roads in the Dandenong Ranges and surrounds program and co-funded by Cardinia Shire Council in partnership with landowners via a special charge scheme.

The works are expected to be completed late 2022, conditions permitting.

For more information, phone Cardinia Shire Council on 1300 787 624, visit cardinia.vic.gov.au/betterlocalroads or email mail@cardinia.vic.gov.au
