Works are about to get underway on critical new traffic infrastructure to unlock more housing in the fast-growing northern suburbs.
The 4-week project will deliver a vital traffic connection into the Cosgrove development and will include an extension of Bayswater Road and the installation of a signalised intersection.
This is another example of Council working together with local developers like Parkside Land to deliver vital infrastructure to get more houses built, faster.
