Haussman Drive has been identified as one of the key roads requiring upgrading works to support the full development in the Chisholm 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:
Glenroy Street upgrade from Railway Avenue to Government Road including both intersections:
- Relocation of power poles and other utility services
- Upgrade to a signalised intersection at Railway Avenue and Glenroy Street
- Intersection improvements at Government Road and Glenroy Street/Haussman Drive
- Reconstruction and widening of road pavement in both Glenroy Street and Railway Avenue
- Drainage construction on Haussman Drive, Glenroy Street and Railway Avenue
- Drainage and pavement improvements of North and South Laneways of Glenroy Street.​
Upgrade of Haussman Drive between Raymond Terrace Road and Taylor Avenue, including both intersections, will be completed in stages.
Stage 2A, set to commence in February 2026, will include:
- Reconstruction and duplication of Haussman Drive to two lanes each direction (funded by Australian Government and Council)
- Construction of a new roundabout at the Taylor Avenue intersection (funded by NSW Government and Council)
- Utility adjustments and stormwater drainage construction
- Shared pathway construction.
Stage 2B is subject to further grant funding and will include:
- Reconstruction of Raymond Terrace Road and Haussman Drive intersection including traffic signals
- Utility adjustments and stormwater drainage construction
