Following observation and feedback regarding the University Avenue Reconstruction works, it has been decided in the interest of safety to close the east-bound section of University Ave from the western roundabout to Australian Hearing Hub/Cochlear/Gumnut driveways for the duration of the works.

This means that from Wednesday 25 June University Avenue will be closed to all east-bound traffic (heading towards Herring Road) from the Balaclava Road/Macquarie Drive roundabout to Eastern Road, as pictured below.

The closure will remove the confusion that some motorists are having at the roundabout by diverting ALL east-bound traffic to Macquarie Drive. It will also prevent vehicles from driving down University Ave the wrong way after hours.

We understand the ‘one-way’ route (east-bound on Macquarie Drive and west-bound on University Ave) may not be convenient for some people; however, keeping traffic moving in one direction only for the duration of the works will create a significantly safer environment for all road users and pedestrians. We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation.
