The Western Highway is the major road link between Melbourne and Adelaide. Farming, grain production, regional tourism and a range of manufacturing services rely heavily on this highway.
We’ve been upgrading the highway between Burrumbeet and Stawell since 2013 and have upgraded 55km of highway between Ballarat and Buangor.
The safety of the travelling public is our priority.
In the 10 years to December 2024, there have been 174 crashes on the Western Highway, between Ballarat and Stawell, including 16 fatalities and 105 people seriously injured, which is why it is vital for the safety of the community that this road is upgraded.
