Cox Street Redevelopment Project

Jointly funded by Southern Grampians Shire Council and the Victorian Government, this project has an overall budget of $4.6 million and will improve the Ballarat Road entry of the Hamilton CBD.

- Undergrounding existing power lines
- Installing new Telstra lines (east side)
- Adding a new median strip with street lighting
- Constructing new road pavement (east side)
- Constructing a three-metre-wide footpath (east side)

Council will temporarily detour heavy vehicles from Cox Street throughout the construction period.

The temporary heavy vehicle detour for trucks and buses will follow:

From Coleraine Road: Mount Baimbridge Road, Portland Road, South Boundary Road, Mt Napier Road, Petschels Lane, Hamilton Highway and Ballarat Road.

From Glenelg Highway: Hamilton Highway, Petschels Lane, Mt Napier Road, South Boundary Road, Portland Road, Mount Baimbridge Road and Coleraine Road.

From Hamilton Highway: Petschels Lane, Mt Napier Road, South Boundary Road, Portland Road, Mount Baimbridge Road and Coleraine Road.

This will ensure safety for those working on the project, pedestrians and motorists.

Public access will be maintained along Cox Street throughout the majority of the construction period.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane for the majority of the construction period.
Council will provide further advice about this disruption as required on our Website, via social media and our local media.

Access to local businesses/property will be managed and determined by the traffic plan which will be developed by the successful contractor. Council will be in contact with businesses to discuss any direct impacts to traffic flow or pedestrian access.
