Road Network Updates
Port of Melbourne will deliver a $21 million roads program over a five year period improving road user experience and increasing safety throughout each of the Port precincts.
Following an extensive road audit in 2023 design development and delivery of improvement works will be rolled out in packages over a five-year period, through to FY29.
Road safety is a key focus area for Port of Melbourne and these works aim to ensure our roads are safe and accessible for both passenger and heavy vehicle use.

Stage One – Complete
Stage Two – In Delivery
Stage two works are continuing throughout the coming months, with the program scheduled to run until mid‑2026. Timing of these works are subject to change and may be affected by weather.
Line Marking
The overnight line marking works along Enterprize Road at Swanson Dock, previously planned for December 2025, have been rescheduled to take place in early to mid‑2026. For the safety of workers, traffic management will be in place.
Speed Limit Reduction – Swanson Dock Precinct
Port of Melbourne has undertaken work to reduce the speed limit in the Swanson Dock Precinct, so the speed limit will be 40km in the Webb Dock, Swanson Dock and Appleton Dock Precincts.
Traffic signalling programming assessments have been undertaken to ensure intersections continue to operate in a safe and efficient manner. Once traffic signal network programming and phasing is finalised PoM will provide an update to stakeholder and install signage in the Swanson Dock Precinct, showing 40km speed limits.
Road Safety Barriers
PoM completed the installation of seven new road safety barriers throughout the Swanson, Coode Island and Yarraville Precincts. Works were successfully carried out during November and December 2025.
Future Works
Throughout 2026, PoM will continue to roll out precinct-wide improvements. Within the Swanson Precinct, pedestrian safety upgrades along Enterprize Road will be delivered, supported by appropriate traffic management to ensure worker safety.
PoM will also replace existing roadside rocks with safer bollards along Mullaly Close and Enterprize Road. We will continue to provide updates to key stakeholders closer to the commencement of these works.
