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

A new path will be constructed to connect Wadawurrung Way parking areas and Wurdi Baierr Stadium, in advance of main construction works. The path will run between the netball courts and soccer pitch, as indicated on the diagram.

The path works site will be temporarily fenced off from 10 February. People will still be able to access Wurdi Baierr Stadium via Wadawurrung Way and College Lane.

Construction of the new path will require removal of a long jump pit. We have worked with Little Athletics leaders to identify a new site for provision of two pits beside Polwarth Oval. The new pits will be constructed at the same time as the path.

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.

Preliminary works

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