Current works

July 2025: Temporary car park changes during July school holidays to allow for installation of permanent car park lighting, footpath construction

Works to improve safety at the new car park adjoining the construction site will be completed during July, impacting parking availability.

These works have been scheduled for the school holidays to minimise disruption for users.

Tuesday 8 July: Permanent lighting will be installed in the new car park.

The work will require full closure of the new car park between 6.30am and 3.30pm on Tuesday 8 July.

UPDATE 8/7/25: Due to stronger than expected winds today, it was unsafe to complete the installation of lighting poles in the new car park.

The car park will be closed again Wednesday (9 July) morning from 6.30am until 11am to complete these works.

14-18 July: A new footpath will be constructed along the northern edge of the car park.

This work will require closure of one row of car parks, closest to the construction site as indicated in the image, during these dates.

The rest of the park will remain open.

Alternative parking options include:

Around Grenville Oval and Grant Pavilion, off Yallock Court, and
Along Merrijig Drive.

Please note: the Surf Coast Secondary College car park (off Hillside Parade) will be closed 6-11 July to allow for the installation of a retractable tiered spectator seating system at Wurdi Baierr Stadium.

Ongoing traffic/access changes during construction and car parking options

Wadawurrung Way is closed near the intersection with Kuwarrk Lane. College Lane is also closed.
People are still be able to access Wurdi Baierr Stadium. A new path links Wadawurrung Way, Kuwarrk Lane and parking areas to the stadium.

Main construction is expected to be complete late in 2026.

Accessible parking and path

Four accessible car parks are available for people with disability on Wadawurrung Way close to its intersection with Kuwarrk Lane.
An accessible route from the car parks to Wurdi Baierr Stadium is available travelling about 50 metres east along Kuwarrk Lane towards Grant Pavilion, then north towards the stadium along the new path between the netball courts and soccer pitch.
Lighting for the new path connecting Wurdi Baierr Stadium and the new car park will temporarily be provided by spill lighting from the netball courts. Designers are still finalising a lighting approach for the path throughout the remainder of the construction period.
