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

Construction preparation for this project is currently underway. The first stage of construction is completed, and we are currently waiting for Department of Transport's approval for the next stages.


When is construction starting?

Construction is expected to commence in August 2024. It will be completed in small stages within 10-12 months. Site preparation works will start in mid-July for the Wheatsheaf Road section between Plumpton Avenue and Argyle Street.


Information drop-in sessions

Meet the contractor and ask questions. Council officers will also be there if you have any questions regarding the construction commencement.

Date & Time: Friday, 19 July 2024, 2-3 PM

Venue: Wheatsheaf Road ‘Lane’, next to 171Wheatsheaf Rd, Glenroy VIC 3046


How will the community be impacted?

The construction work will mainly include footpath reconstruction, road excavation, drainage, water main works, and asphalt works. 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 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.
