Works and major projects

Haussman Drive has been identified as one of the key roads requiring upgrading works to support the full development in the Chisolm and Thornton North under the Section 94 Contributions Plan (now known as Section 7.11).

The traffic generation from the Thornton North development will result in a significant increase in traffic on the existing local and state road network, generating a need for new and/or upgraded traffic facilities, roads, bridges and intersections.

The project will be delivered in three stages. They are:

Construction

Allandale Road, Allandale upgrade

Due to increased traffic movements in the Allandale area and neighbouring surbubs, Allandale Road required an upgrade. Work started in May 2021 and finished in April 2022.

Ongoing

Queens Wharf Upgrade

The Queens Wharf Masterplan was developed in 2017 in consultation with the local community and businesses. The Masterplan consists of a number of stages, many of which are reliant on land acquisition.

The first stage of the Queens Wharf Masterplan, Stage A, was completed in October 2020. Further stages will be completed in the future.

Stage A is funded by Roads and Maritime Service (New South Wales Government) under the NSW Boating Now Program and by Maitland City Council.
