Community opposition to the closure of Northey Road as part of the Western Port Hwy upgrade
Final supporters
Dear Premier Napthine, Minister Mulder, Mr Perera, & Mayor Ablett,
I’d like to draw your attention to an issue that is of grave concern to and opposed by the residents in and around Lynbrook & Lyndhurst. As a part of the proposed Western Port Highway upgrade project, there are proposals to close a number of local tributary roads - including Northey Road, which is a significantly important connector between Lynbrook & Lyndhurst and one that local residents rely on daily.
We the undersigned oppose the closure of Northey Road as we will be adversely affected along with thousands of other local residents.

The feedback from local commuters keeps pouring in. I am currently compiling these stories for the next meeting with the planning office.

The momentum behind this is undeniable. It is clear that the community will not let Northey Road be forgotten.

For people coming back to Lynbrook from the city on the Monash, Northey Rd avoids the terrible congestion around Sth Gipps Hwy exit. Also, it's how we get to Lyndhurst and Frankston without having to go many kilometres out of our way. At the very least Northey Rd should remain open until Glasscocks Rd is open with a crossing over the railway line!
Closing Northy Rd will make it very difficult for people in our neighbourhood to get on to WESTERNPORT highway.There are many commercial vehicles using Northy Rd because of the Businees Park and they will add to the traffic congestion on the Sth Gippy. You should check this out after 3.30pm each day.
My husband and I use Northey rd toa ccess Lyndhurst, Carrum Downs, Skye and Frankston. YOu will be cutting Lynbrook off from many towns if you close this access road.
This Western Port Hwy upgrade is a joke, and now you want to close Northey Road. That will leave ONLY THOMPSONS ROAD as the only way between Lynbrook and Lundhurst. Has any politician actually travelled on Thompsons road during peak hour. Do not close Northey Road !!!
No, Northey rd should not be closed as a Lyndhurst resident i use it too often and it would be a great shame to see it go!! I also think that an over pass/or an under pass for Aylmer rd should be made ASAP; this would benefit at least half of Lyndhurst residents. It would cause less traffic headache for people, less fuel consumption going around to get to the other suburb eg: Lynbrook. & Closer Shooping!!!
DON'T CLOSE THE NORTHY ROAD
Closing the road will increase congestion on the South Gippsland freeway

Many drivers veer off South Gippsland Hwy to Hastings road & exit Northey road to Lynbrook up to Evans road. I use Northey road minimum of 6 times a week. Closing this exit would add more traffic chaos at the bottle neck at Monash Fwy Cranbourne exit merge to South Gippsland Hwy.
