Current works

Initial works include preparing the site for construction, and building a new car park.

Wadawurrung Way will be closed from 6.30am on 23 January to 4pm on 24 January between Merrijig Drive and Kuwarrk Lane to allow for drainage works. The closure is scheduled to have the least possible impact on stadium and sporting field users, but parking will be limited during the period.

A new path is being constructed connecting Wadawurrung Way parking areas and Wurdi Baierr Stadium, as indicated on the overview. Construction of the new path around the eastern perimeter of the netball courts will require relocation of two long jump pits. We are working with Little Athletics leaders to determine a suitable new site.

The Vic Tantau Walk between Council’s Civic Building and the works site remains closed and fenced off for realignment. We expect the path to be reopened in March, along with the adjoining new car park.

As part of preliminary works, the Vic Tantau Walk (the pathway to the north of Council’s civic building) will be realigned.

The path is being realigned as it will be positioned next to a new car park, which is under construction.

To allow for these works, the construction site fence has been extended and the path has been temporarily closed.

We expect the preliminary works including the realignment of the path and new car park to be completed – and opened - by March.

A new car park is under construction between the civic building and the new facility.

The Vic Tantau Walk path is being realigned to accommodate this.

The new car park and path should be completed and opened by March.
