From consultation to construction
In mid 2023, we asked the community and local businesses to share their feedback through Engage Victoria to help shape planning for the Watson Street Interchange Upgrade.
Feedback showed strong support for the upgrade, with 98% of respondents in favour of improving Watson Street Interchange and the shared use path along sections of the Watson Street to help ease congestion, improve travel times and make it safer and easier to walk and cycle.
Ongoing engagement with the Wallan community
From late 2025 to early 2026, as we started major works, we continued connecting with the community through pop-ups, drop-in sessions and local events.
During this time, we spoke with nearly 1100 community members across activities including sessions at Wellington Square Shopping Centre and the Wallan Scout Saturday Market.
These conversations gave locals the opportunity to ask questions, share valuable insights, meet the project team and learn more about what to expect as construction gets underway.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat with us.
