Project description
Design is underway on Gungahlin Town Centre improvements.
Walking, cycling and other forms of active travel are at the centre of the ACT Government’s plans to make Canberra an even more liveable and sustainable city.
A number of projects are underway to improve opportunities for active travel as well as road safety and access in the Gungahlin Town Centre.
Active travel
In 2022 a feasibility study (PDF 22.2 MB) was completed looking at the availability of active travel in the Gungahlin Town Centre. It also identified possible improvements to the active travel network. More information about the findings of the feasibility study is included below.
The feasibility study identified 12 individual community paths (PDF 5.4 MB) to improve active travel in the Gungahlin Town Centre.
Concept designs were initially developed for 11 of those community paths.
An additional two sites were added to the list and have also had designs developed.
In the 2023-24 ACT Budget, funding was provided to progress high priority segments through to detailed design. Detailed design work is now complete for eight of the 13 paths. You can view the design 199.7 KB. Construction of these paths is subject to future ending.

Gungahlin Transport Plan
In addition to active travel improvements, the 2023-24 ACT Budget also allocated funding to develop a transport plan for Gungahlin.
A transport plan technical report has been developed which is focused on priority areas and corridors within Gungahlin, including the town centre, and considers various modes of transport such as private vehicles, public transport and active travel. The report is being used to inform project selection and as a reference document for development and update of planning documents.
Corridor Transport Plan
A consultant is now on board to develop a Corridor Transport Plan for Gungahlin. More information will be provided on this page once known.
The 2024-25 and 2025-26 ACT Budget allocated further funding to progress the next stage of Gungahlin road improvements in the form of a Corridor Transport Plan. This plan will expand on the recommendations of the recently completed Gungahlin Transport Plan to identify future infrastructure needs for the region’s growing population by focussing on key transport corridors such as Gungahlin Drive, Gundaroo Drive and Mirrabei Drive.
This work will commence in late 2025.
Intersection studies
The 2023-24 ACT Budget allocated funding to progress feasibility and design work for three intersections in the Gungahlin Town Centre. The purpose of this work is to improve road, cyclist and pedestrian safety.
ACT’s population is fast growing and many existing intersections were originally designed and constructed to operate at lower traffic volumes than what they are now experiencing. Improvements for these intersections may include the installation of traffic lights, reduced speed limits and traffic calming.
The three areas identified as part of this program of works are:
- Hinder Street/Efkarpidis Street (preliminary sketch plans)
- Hinder Street/Ernest Cavanagh Street (preliminary sketch plans)
- Anthony Rolfe Avenue from Gungahlin Place to Manning Clark Crescent (feasibility study).
In addition to the above, included in this program is also the intersection of the Barton Highway and Victoria Street in Hall where a feasibility study will be undertaken. This work is now underway.
