Browse Forums Building A New House Re: LYNDARUM/AURORA/SUMMERHILL ESTATES: Epping, Victoria 2593Jul 31, 2012 4:43 pm Ignore my previous queries re Craigieburn Road. It's completely blocked off so the alternate lanes/reduced speed limit stuff in the paper is not accurate - you can't turn into the road at all. Went via High street/Cooper St one day and then Donnybrook Road the second. Donnybrook was faster... Not sure about the other TV channel, but for anyone with Foxtel you can download the Foxtel app on an ipad and watch all 8 Foxtel channels at once on your ipad. It's pretty cool actually. Re: LYNDARUM/AURORA/SUMMERHILL ESTATES: Epping, Victoria 2594Aug 06, 2012 7:15 pm Anyone else confused as to how our council approved the closure of Craigeburn road without some other road being opened prior to allow the extra traffic to get through? Re: LYNDARUM/AURORA/SUMMERHILL ESTATES: Epping, Victoria 2595Aug 07, 2012 12:25 pm DamoAu, totally agree. I dont understand how a road can be closed for so long like this without first arranging something else. Oh just go down Donnybrook Road or Cooper Street. I need to go to Craigieburn everyday and it is such a hassel going all the way down to Donnybrook and then all the way back around. Not to mention the extra cost of the petrol Re: LYNDARUM/AURORA/SUMMERHILL ESTATES: Epping, Victoria 2596Aug 07, 2012 9:02 pm jpc DamoAu, totally agree.

Not to mention the extra cost of the petrol Traffic around here at the moment is shocking. There are too many bottlenecks where you can get stuck for minutes waiting for lights. They really need to open up more links between the estates and Cooper street. Miller st and Epping rd are massive bottlenecks and getting worse. Also need Edgar's rd completed and opening up O'Hearns onto Hume fwy. That's my rant for today. Thanks for reading. Re: LYNDARUM/AURORA/SUMMERHILL ESTATES: Epping, Victoria 2597Aug 08, 2012 4:22 pm Due to the abysmal traffic situation in Epping now, we are selling up and moving out of the area. We moved here 4 years ago, and the difference is shocking. It is just getting progressively worse, and will get a lot worse before it gets better - if it even gets any better. Look at all the new houses going up, and nothing at all is been done about the roads. And nothing is planned. It will take years for anything to get off the ground as well. The only thing I can suggest to do if you want to stay is to lobby the local politicians and let them know it is a vote deciding issue. That is, you will vote for the person that has the best and most concrete plan to do something about it.

Local politicians are prone to enormous ****** that they are not held to account for. I previously lived in Darebin and the independent candidate promised to extend the Gilbert rd tram. Something that they had no possibility of influencing. It would have got him a couple of votes too.

I think the simplest solution would have always been to put conditions to all land developers that roads coming to/from the new estates must be upgraded to suit the amount of land that is expected to be released... Ok yes it would increase the cost of our blocks, but say this cost added 5% to your block.... I would have accepted that at that stage as I could have factored that into our mortgage!
