346 Wirraway Road
UPDATE: 2 AUG 2024, 9.30am - OVERVIEW & ACCESS INFORMATION
Consistent with the approved 2013 Essendon Fields Master Plan, two new automotive dealerships are being developed at 346 Wirraway Road.
Whilst we deliver these works, you may notice increased activity on the site, including increased noise from construction works. Measures have been put in place to minimise disruption to local businesses and neighbouring residents, including implementing dust suppression strategies during the initial earthworks.
To ensure the safety of road users and pedestrian during the project works, traffic conditions will be adjusted as follows:
Throughout the construction period: Footpath access on the western side of the site will be partially closed, with access diversions clearly marked to ensure safe street crossing on St Johns Lane and Wirraway Road. Please refer to Figure 1 below.
Wirraway Road Interface Works: To facilitate works at the interface with Wirraway Road at various stages of the project, traffic changes will be in place around the Wirraway Road northern roundabout. Please refer to Figure 2 below.
We will be keeping you informed via our website of any specific works or changes that might affect you, and have provided information about who to contact with any enquiries.
We thank you for your patience and look forward to delivering this new development, which will continue to create employment opportunities in the Essendon Fields area.
