New Gisborne, Hamilton and Barringo roads - intersection upgrade

Works are now underway to upgrade the intersection of Barringo and Hamilton roads in New Gisborne, improving access and safety around the Macedon Ranges Regional Sports Precinct (MRRSP). 

The intersection design was informed and refined through detailed planning work, alongside extensive consultation with nearby landowners and the broader community in 2021, when close to 75 per cent of 200 survey respondents said they preferred a roundabout over alternative signalised options.

The works will see a realigned intersection with a new roundabout to replace the current intersection. This will support the expected increase in traffic and pedestrians following the full development of the precinct.

A signalised pedestrian crossing will also be installed to the west of the intersection in Hamilton Road and a zebra crossing along a raised platform to the north in Barringo Road, to improve pedestrian safety in mind of MRRSP patrons and nearby schools.

Update - June 2024

Barringo and Hamilton Roads are now reopen to traffic, following roundabout works.

We would like to thank residents, businesses and road users for their patience while these works were completed.

Some finishing works, including the permanent and pedestrian crossing lighting, still remain in the vicinity of the roundabout and will be completed as soon as practical. Temporary measures are in place in the meantime.
