Scope now settled
Over the past few months, we’ve reviewed feedback from our April 2025 community pop-ups, along with input from local businesses, public transport operators, Wyndham City Council and the Department of Transport and Planning.
We’ve now finalised the design for the Ballan Road Intersection Upgrade. Key features include:
- replacing the congested roundabout at Ballan Road, Greens Road, and McGrath Road north with a new traffic light intersection, adding extra lanes through the intersection to improve travel time and journey reliability
- adding new traffic lights at McGrath Road south near the 7-Eleven, making it safer and easier to turn right towards Werribee
- providing dedicated pedestrian crossings and shared walking and cycling paths, making it easier to move between homes, services, schools, and businesses
- introducing a new bus priority lane on Ballan Road to improve public transport reliability.

What's next?
We’ve completed site investigations to confirm the location of utility services.
We have awarded the contract for the project. We will deliver the upgrade in partnership with construction company Symal. Construction plans are being drafted and finalised, and we’re exploring staging options to help minimise impacts on the community and local businesses while we build the upgrade.
Works to prepare the site for major construction, relocate utilities and setup our site office and compound will get underway over the next month with major construction to start in early 2026. Some vegetation removal will be required during site setup and preparation works. Tree planting and landscaping will take place once major construction is complete.
