Upper Glasgow Council Invests Over $8 Million in Local Road Renewal and Upgrades

Work taking place of Commonwealth Blvd

Upper Glasgow Council has delivered a significant boost to local infrastructure, investing more than $8 million in the renewal and upgrade of local roads as part of its 2024/25 Capital Works Program. This major investment reflects the Council’s commitment to providing safer, smoother, and more resilient roads for all residents and visitors.

The 2024/25 program included the reconstruction of several key roads across the region. Works involved the replacement of road surfaces, kerb and channel, drainage improvements, and the reinstatement of nature strips and driveways between the road and footpath. These comprehensive upgrades ensure that local roads are not only safer and more durable but also enhance the overall amenity of the surrounding neighbourhoods.

Importantly, these projects were partly funded through the Federal Government’s Roads to Recovery Program, which supports local governments in maintaining and improving vital road infrastructure. This partnership has enabled the Council to deliver high-quality outcomes while maximising value for the community.

The renewed and upgraded roads are already making a difference—improving safety for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians, reducing maintenance needs, and supporting the efficient movement of people and goods throughout Upper Glasgow. The Council’s ongoing investment in local infrastructure is a cornerstone of its vision to create connected, accessible, and thriving communities for years to come.
