I am proud to announce that the Minns Labor Government is getting on with the job, securing a 1 billion dollar upgrade to Fifteenth Avenue in partnership with the Albanese Labor Government.
Since being elected in March 2023, I have been able to secure:
- Initial funding to begin work of upgrading Fifteenth Avenue into a Rapid Transport Corridor in the 2023 Labor State Budget.
- Prioritisation of improvements to Fifteenth Avenue and surrounding roads in November 2024.
Under the former Liberal Government, much needed upgrades to Fifteenth Avenue were never funded or delivered.
AUGUST 2025 COMMUNITY UPDATE
This large and complex project requires significant planning, design and preliminary works before construction can commence. These early stages are essential to ensure the upgrade is delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest standard. Detailed design planning is already underway, with construction scheduled to commence in 2027.
To help ease congestion at the Fifteenth Avenue/Cowpasture Road/Hoxton Park Road intersection, the below upgrades are underway and are expected to be completed in 2026.
- Extended northbound right turn lane from Cowpasture Road to Fifteenth Avenue
- Extended southbound right turn lane from Cowpasture Road to Hoxton Park Road
- Additional northbound lane on Cowpasture Road for drivers travelling from Fifteenth Avenue to the M7 Motorway
Detailed information on the upgrade stages can be found HERE.
