Dandenong Road, Sirocco Street and Central Avenue intersection upgrade - Jamboree Heights

Construction is underway for the Dandenong Road, Sirocco Street and Central Avenue intersection upgrade at Jamboree Heights.

Latest update

Construction started in March 2024 and works are on track to be complete in late 2024, weather and site conditions permitting. To ensure the safety of road workers, and to minimise impact to road users, the majority of construction activities will take place at night. Night works are scheduled between 7pm and 5am, Sunday to Thursday.

Every effort will be made to complete particularly noisy works prior to 11pm, where possible. 

At times, some construction works may be required to take place during the day. Day works are scheduled between 7am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Council will provide advance notification to local residents and businesses of any particularly impactful works as they are required throughout the construction period.

About the project

The project features included as part of this project are:

• installing traffic lights to fully control vehicle movements through the intersection.
• Installing signalised pedestrian crossing facilities across all lengths of the intersection
• removing the northbound left-turn slip lane on Dandenong Road.
• constructing a new raised zebra crossing across the eastbound left-turn slip lane on Central Avenue
• upgrading existing centre medians on Dandenong Road, Central Avenue, and Loffs Road
• extending the southbound bike lane on Dandenong Road through the intersection
• upgrading the surrounding kerb and footpaths, including new kerb ramps
• installing new asphalt, line marking and minor landscaping works.

The Dandenong Road, Sirocco Street and Central Avenue intersection upgrade is jointly funded by the Australian Government’s Roads to Recovery program and Brisbane City Council.

Project benefits

The upgrade at the intersection aims to introduce the following benefits:

• improve safety for all road users by installing traffic lights with signalised crossing facilities to control movements through the intersection
• improve safety and minimise queue lengths for vehicles exiting Central Avenue and Sirocco Street into Dandenong Road by controlling vehicle movements with the new signalised intersection
• improve connectivity and safety for people walking and riding with signalised crossing points on all intersection approaches and a wombat crossing on the Central Avenue left-turn slip lane into Dandenong Road
• enhance active transport options by allowing safer and easier connectivity to local bus stops, shopping centres and community facilities
• improve safety for people walking and riding across Central Avenue by replacing the left-turn slip lane on Dandenong Road with a controlled left-turn arrow
• improve drainage at the intersection and on Dandenong Road by upgrading and installing new stormwater pipes and pits.

What to expect during construction

During the works, residents and businesses near the intersection may at times experience:

• increased noise, truck movements, low level vibration and dust
• light from mobile light towers and flashing vehicle lights
• changes in traffic conditions, including minor traffic delays, reduced speed limits, temporary road and lane closures.

Council will make every effort to minimise impacts to the local community. Traffic management and signage will be onsite to direct people walking, riding and driving through the area. Council will continue to monitor traffic and construction conditions throughout the project and make adjustments where required.

Council is committed to keeping the local community informed and will provide more information during construction. We value your patience and cooperation while we complete these important works.

Temporary bus relocation

During construction, temporary relocation of the two bus stops at the intersection will be required.

• Bus stop ID 005300 has been temporarily relocated 340m to the existing inbound district stop on Dandenong Road, opposite Spinnaker Street.
• Bus stop ID 005301 has been temporarily relocated 180m to the existing outbound district stop on the corner of Dandenong Road and Spinnaker Street.

Signage is in place to direct patrons.

Site compound

The site compound and laydown area to store materials and machinery will be established within Lorikeet Park north of the intersection.
