Project Outline

Wheatsheaf Road is a vital part of Glenroy's local community. It hosts a variety of vibrant and unique shops and businesses. Wheatsheaf Road is an important link connecting Glenroy Station, recently upgraded as part of the Level Crossing Removal works, and the new Glenroy Community Hub.

This project aims to improve the presentation of Wheatsheaf Road, and make it easier and safer to visit and move around.


Construction commencing soon

Construction preparation for this project is currently underway. The project will be delivered across two financial years.

We are working closely with the Department of Transport to obtain their approval for the construction commencement. The department is responsible for the management of this section of Wheatsheaf Road.

Construction is expected to commence in August 2024 and be completed approximately in 10-12 months in small stages.

The construction work will include mainly footpath reconstruction, road excavation, drainage, water main works and asphalt works. The amount of work is shown on the plan on the following page. During construction, access will remain to all properties in the works area. Construction will happen in small stages to minimise impacts. We will work around the businesses’ opening hours to reduce inconvenience.

If your property is directly impacted, you will receive regular construction updates in the mail and in person. Council officers and the contractor will be on-site most days to help deal with any issues quickly.

Updates on the project will be published regularly and will be available on-site and online at www.conversations.merri-bek.vic.gov.au/wheatsheaf-road. Please click ‘follow’ if you would like to receive updates via email.
