As our cities grow, many high-density and frequently used areas are increasingly impacted by traffic congestion and conflicting vehicle movements as more people are using the space. The City of Parramatta has been listening to the community, noting reports of near misses, and suggestions over the years. As a result, Council has identified several high-priority intersections that would benefit from additional traffic management measures to improve road safety, reduce conflict traffic flow and congestion.
The intersection of Moseley Street and Young Road is among those experiencing growing levels of conflicting traffic movements and congestion, as more residents on Young Road are accessing Moseley Street to reach Pennant Hills Road. The current road design has resulted in queues extending onto Young Street during the peak period and increased the risks of collisions with vehicles travelling along Moseley Street.
To address these issues, Council is proposing the installation of a roundabout with pedestrian islands at the intersection of Moseley Street and Young Road. This intervention aims to improve local traffic flow, decrease vehicle speed,particularly for cars travelling southbound from Pennant Hills Road, and enhance overall road safety.
This project is fully funded by the NSW Government through its Towards Zero Road Safety Program.

Between 26 August to 23 September 2025, Council invited community feedback regarding this proposal.
Council received 45 submissions from the local community, with the following breakdown:
• Yes: 23
• Yes, to an extent: 4
• Unsure: 5
• No: 13
The results indicate strong support for the proposal, with 23 respondents in favour and 4 expressing partial support.
Community Feedback
Concerns were raised about speeding vehicles, with requests for traffic calming measures for westbound motorists on Moseley Street. In response, Council officers will review the design to ensure the deflection is sufficient to provide effective traffic calming in the westbound direction.
Next steps
Council will proceed with the proposed works. Installation is expected to be completed by December 2026.
