Current works

New car park

A new car park at the southern end of the works site, beside Council’s Civic Building is now open, with access from Wadawurrung Way. Landscaping works will be completed at a later stage in the project.
This car park has the same number of spaces as the former loop car parking area on Wadawurrung Way.

Traffic/access changes

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.
The realigned Vic Tantau Walk between the Civic Building and new car park is open.

Outdoor netball courts

One netball court will be removed to allow the new aquatic and recreation facilities building to fit on the site and to share an entry point with the existing Wurdi Baierr Stadium. New fencing will be installed o maintain safe access to the remaining three courts. Those courts will remain open during installation of the fencing but there may be some temporary disruptions.
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.

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.

Main construction is expected to be complete late in 2026.

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.
