Construction is progressing on the Darraweit Road upgrade in Wallan, with drainage works now underway and preparations beginning for the construction of a new retaining wall.
The $2.7 million project is delivering a significant upgrade to the section of Darraweit Road between Acacia Way and Roulston Way. Works include underground drainage, kerbing and reconstruction of the road pavement to improve safety and durability for local residents, businesses and visitors.
The upgrade is part of the Australian Government's $11 million commitment to the Macedon and Mitchell Shire Roads project. A combined $5.5 million is being provided for the Darraweit Road and Wellington Street upgrades, with Mitchell Shire Council contributing an additional $200,000.
Works began in April and are expected to be completed by October 2025, weather permitting.
Drainage works will continue throughout July. Construction of the retaining wall will also commence this month.
