Four road humps proposed near Belmore and Forest roads, with work targeted by June 2027
A recommendation in Georges River transport forum minutes proposes three flat-top humps in Peakhurst and Lugarno, while a fourth near 78 Belmore Road would depend on community consultation producing no substantial objections.
Reporting from public council minutes. How this article was prepared
Residents and road users near four sites in Peakhurst and Lugarno could see new traffic-calming works under a recommendation recorded in Georges River’s Local Transport Forum minutes. It proposes flat-top road humps near 28 and 78 Belmore Road and near 875 and 1140 Forest Road. The recommendation covers signage, line marking and pedestrian fencing, but the 78 Belmore Road site is conditional on consultation producing no substantial objections.
The forum’s 28 October 2026 minutes record the road-hump item as a recommendation, not as a final construction approval. They do not record a vote adopting it or a construction start date.
Council’s Manager Assets and Traffic, S Lindsay, said the project was in the capital works program for traffic facilities and was intended to be completed before the end of June 2027. He said stormwater concerns affecting one hump were expected to be resolved before Christmas 2026.
Mr Lindsay estimated construction would take about three to four weeks, weather permitting, and said work would be undertaken site by site, likely in halves to maintain access along the corridor. The minutes do not specify whether the duration applies to each site or the overall project. They do not give a project cost or define how objections would be assessed as substantial.
What deserves a closer look
The source records a recommendation and staff comments about intended timing, but does not record a vote adopting the road-hump recommendation, final council approval or a construction start date.
The source identifies the capital works program for traffic facilities but does not provide a project cost.
The consultation condition applies specifically to the proposed hump near 78 Belmore Road; the source does not define substantial objections.
Questions for follow-up reporting
Has Georges River Council formally adopted the road-hump recommendation?
When would consultation occur for the proposed hump near 78 Belmore Road?
What threshold would be used to assess substantial objections at 78 Belmore Road?
If the proposal proceeds, when would construction start at each site, and what is the estimated project cost?
What happens next
If the proposal proceeds, the recommendation calls for community consultation on the 78 Belmore Road hump, with installation subject to no substantial objections.
If the project proceeds, the stormwater concerns affecting one hump would need to be addressed; staff anticipated resolving them before Christmas 2026.
If approved, the project would proceed towards staff's stated completion target before the end of June 2027; the construction estimate remains weather-dependent.

LTF069-26 Belmore Road and Forest Road, Peakhurst & Lugarno - Proposed Road Humps (Report by Traffic Engineer) RECOMMENDATION That: (a) Flat-top road humps, with associated signage, line marking and pedestrian fencing, be installed at three locations: near 28 Belmore Road, Peakhurst, and near 875 and 1140 Forest Road, Lugarno, as shown in the plans in the report (b) Subject to no substantial objections being received during the community consultation, a flat-top road hump, with associated signage, line marking and pedestrian fencing, be installed near 78 Belmore Road, Peakhurst, as shown in the plan in the report Comments: Mr J Tran commented,
LTF069-26 recommendation
Open original minutes ↗S Lindsay said stormwater concerns affecting one flat-top hump were expected to be resolved before Christmas and that the intended project delivery remained before the end of the financial year.
Point 14 on 26 says Council is currently finalising the design. What's the expected timeline for that? Mr S Lindsay commented, there's only one flat top speed hump that we're just currently working through some stormwater concerns. So that's anticipated to be resolved this side of Christmas. So it shouldn't delay the overall project in terms of the timeline that we already had, which would be to deliver before the end of the financial year.
LTF069-26 design and timing discussion
Open original minutes ↗S Lindsay said the project was in the capital works program for traffic facilities. He said work would be undertaken site by site, likely in halves to maintain access, and estimated about three to four weeks, weather permitting.
Mr J Tran commented, so is there funding in this financial year already? Mr S Lindsay commented, yes it's in our capital works program for traffic facilities. Mr J Tran commented, so the construction timeline is expected from start to finish, how long? Mr S Lindsay commented, it will be done per site and likely they will be done in halves just so you can maintain access through that corridor. So probably take place in about 3-4 weeks weather pending.
LTF069-26 funding and construction discussion
Open original minutes ↗S Lindsay said the project was to be completed before the end of June, rather than by Christmas.
