Underwood Road Bus Turnaround
Project overview
We are making it easier and safer to visit one of our city’s most popular cultural and sporting precincts at Underwood Road, Priestdale.
We are planning to convert the end of Underwood Road into a sealed cul-de-sac, and construct a new, designated bus passenger set down area in front of the Fo Guang Shan Chung Tian Temple. These changes will enable a planned Translink route extension in the future.
This local upgrade is being delivered under our Protocol and Grants Program, funded in part by the Australian Government’s Investing in Our Communities Program.

Project features
The upgrade includes:
- construction of a new cul-de-sac, including kerb and channel, at the end of Underwood Road
- a dedicated passenger set down area for buses outside the Fo Guang Shan Chung Tian Temple
- extension of the existing footpath at Underwood Park to the end of Underwood Road
- improved stormwater drainage
- a new entrance to the driveway at the Daisy Hill Conservation Park, and nearby retaining wall to reduce erosion
- road resurfacing from the Underwood Park access road to the end of Underwood Road.
Project timeline
Works are expected to start on 9 September 2024 and be finished by late November 2024 (subject to weather and construction conditions).
Project benefits
The Underwood Road bus turnaround will deliver a range of benefits, including:
- improved safety for people and turning vehicles at the end of Underwood Road
- improved stormwater drainage
- improved connectivity between local cultural and recreational areas including future Translink route extensions.
Project impacts
We will make every effort to minimise disruption. Given the nature of work, some temporary impacts can be expected, such as:
- changed traffic conditions including reduced speed limits, lane closures and detours (as needed)
- increased noise, dust, and vibration
- street parking changes (including loss of some informal street parking)
- temporary footpath closures.
