A text box pointing to the Dorville Road and Beams Road intersection advises that an upgrade to the existing Dorville Road roundabout will occur and the roundabout will be replaced with traffic lights and signalised pedestrian crossings. A text box pointing to the Balcara Avenue and Beams Road intersection reads amendments to Balcara Avenue traffic signals, the western signalised pedestrian crossing (closest to Dorville Road) will be removed to optimise the function of the intersection.

A grey text box on the eastern side of the map points to a railway line, running north to south. This text box labels the Beams Road Rail Level Crossing Removal site, a TMR project, which includes upgrading the Balcara Avenue and Carselgrove Avenue intersections.
