In short:
A $2 million streetscape upgrade on Duncans Road starts in 2026 with new paving, gardens and safer crossings. Werribee’s historic Kurrajong Trees will remain protected under the works.
New paving, seating and gardens planned
The $2 million Duncans Road streetscape upgrade is set to begin in early 2026, bringing major changes to the section between Watton Street and Synnot Street in Werribee.
The works will include new bluestone and granite footpaths, improved drainage, upgraded traffic signals, and a raised pedestrian crossing to boost safety. Shoppers and visitors will also see new garden beds, trees, feature seating platforms, bins, bike racks, and even a public chess table added to the area.
New plantings will feature Red Flowering Gum, Cape Chestnut and Wallangara White Gum trees, complemented by native plants such as Goodenia, Grevillea and Billy Buttons.
The project also protects an important part of Werribee’s history. Five Kurrajong Trees on the western side of Duncans Road, believed to be remnants of an Avenue of Honour planted in 1941, will be retained. Independent heritage and arborist reviews confirmed the upgrade will not harm the trees, which are expected to remain healthy for decades to come.
These works mark the first major delivery under Wyndham’s Rediscover Werribee City Centre program, designed to make the heart of Werribee more vibrant, accessible and future-ready.
Construction has been scheduled to avoid disruption during the busy Christmas trading period, with works staged carefully to maintain access for pedestrians and local businesses.
