Works update 3 February 2026

The main part of the Koroit Township Renewal project will be commencing from early February 2026. Following the summer shut down period for Council and trades, Council’s project team have met with current contractors for High Street and Commercial Road works to develop and agree a co-ordinated project plan for this major stage of the project. This meeting discussed the expectations of Council in relation to time, budget, quality, safety, works, and community management.

To help ensure efficient delivery of this major project, Council have appointed a dedicated project team to oversee and manage contractors, works and ongoing communications.

High Street
Footpath and kerb channel works will commence in High Street Monday 9 February 2026 from Horne Street on the Botanic Gardens side (western side).

Footpath, kerb and channel works have been broken into 8 stages on both sides of High Street to ensure impacts on residences, pedestrians, traffic, Victoria Park, Caravan Park, Bowls Club, emergency services, medical clinic, kindergarten and depot operations are minimised wherever possible across the life of the project.

Works planning forecast that footpath, kerb and channel, mains water relocation and reconnection, Telstra pit works and drainage works will take around 7 months to complete with an anticipated completion date for these works by the end of August.

Others works in High Street include road renewal, carparks, 4 new bus stops, new school wombat crossing, tree planting and general landscaping and line marking. An integrated all of project plan will be finalised within the next week or so and be available from Council’s project page on Engage Moyne or through the Project Management Office.

Commercial Road
Footpath and ancillary works in Commercial Road are expected to re-start from next week from the Koroit Vets to the Pharmacy and then relocate to the Koroit Theatre (Commercial Place and Commercial Road) to ensure this area is completed prior to the Irish Festival at the end of April.

Council certainly understands that there will be some disruptions at times to traffic and pedestrian access to properties and businesses. Vehicle and footpath conditions are subject to change, and all traffic and pedestrians are required to follow traffic controller directions and directional signage. Until road renewal works occur later on in the year, it is planned that there will be ongoing traffic access along High Street.

Project updates will be provided through letters, community noticeboards, social media and this project page on Engage Moyne. see the map of the proposed stages of works for High Street below.

Council acknowledged the community’s patience and understanding as these important infrastructure upgrades are undertaken.
