Lake Wyangan Housing Enabling Infrastructure

The Lake Wyangan Residential Housing Enabling Infrastructure Development will deliver essential civil infrastructure to support the development of around 500 additional homes in the Lake Wyangan area.

The full scope of works includes:

• Several kilometres of stormwater drainage and associated earthworks
• Installation of a new stormwater outfall pump
• Realignment of Abattoir and Mallinson Roads
• Construction of two new T-intersections at Boorga Road and Mallinson Road

Funding for this project was secured earlier this year through the Australian Government’s Housing Support Program, along with internal contributions from the Lake Wyangan Development Contribution Plan.
