FAQs

The roundabout was noted in the Blackspot program. This looks at a range of categories to highlight the development of blackspot areas.

Factors contributing to the design include:

1. There are large trees reducing sight distance and light in all three directions.
2. The proximity of Jubilee Avenue to Rous Road is approximately 20 metres, which causes confusion to motorists on where a vehicle is turning.
3. The intersection is over a crest which reduces stopping time if a vehicle exits from Jubilee Avenue onto Oliver Avenue.

There have been six (6) recorded accidents in this area between 2018 and 2023, three (3) directly at the roundabout and three (3) east along Oliver Avenue. 

Overall, the intention is to improve the standard of the roundabout and the safety of motorists.

The existing entry/exit onto the roundabout from Caroona will be reduced to an Exit Only and a new Entry Only point will be constructed off Rous Road approximately 40m west of the roundabout. These driveway modifications will provide safer entry and egress for Caroona, and for cars circulating on the roundabout. 

There will be three (3) trees removed on the Northern side of Rous Road, which will be replaced in the same vicinity. These trees are not koala food trees and are outside the biodiversity zone. 

Yes, this roundabout is part of the Rous Road design and is confirmed for development as a separate project (timing to be confirmed).

During construction there will be temporary traffic control measures implemented that will cause delays and disruption to motorists.

• Residents on Jubilee Street travelling south will need to follow the temporary detour route in place.
