We are currently finalising the detailed plans for construction of the Victoria Street Streets for People project.

We are still working through few engineering and design challenges that have taken longer to resolve than anticipated.

We expect to commence construction on the project between Pearson Street and the Upfield Line in the first half of 2026. More specific information on construction timing will be available when the designs are finalised.

We will let residents and businesses know about any upcoming works, ensuring that properties are still accessible and impacts are minimal.

We wish you a safe and happy end of year period and look forward to continuing to improve how our community can move around Merri-bek in 2026.
