We’re starting construction on the Templestowe Route Upgrade on Monday 30 June 2025.
All businesses at the Templestowe Village will remain open and accessible throughout the works, with clear pedestrian and road detour signage in place.
What is the Templestowe Route?
The Templestowe Route is a series of connecting roads in Templestowe, including Parker Street, Swilk Street, James Street and Anderson Street. It’s commonly used by local residents and drivers travelling to Templestowe Village and surrounding suburbs.
Image: The Templestowe Route
Why is it being upgraded?
Several safety issues have been identified with Templestowe Route, including poor drainage and inadequate facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.
This upgrade will improve safety for all road users, while also enhancing the vibrancy of Templestowe Village by creating more connected and inviting public spaces.
Upcoming works
Over the next 18 months, we will deliver 4 stages of works to upgrade Anderson Street and Parker Street. Read more about each of these stages at Your Say Manningham.
Works will include:
full road reconstruction
installation of underground drainage, kerb, and channel
new footpaths and improved pedestrian access
new pedestrian-operated crossing at Wood and Anderson streets
reduced and variable speed limits between Porter and Milne streets
formalisation of existing parking spaces
upgraded bus stops on Swilk and Parker Street
new street lighting
landscaping, including selective tree removal and planting.
Stage 1 construction: Anderson Street works (James Street to Wood Street)
Stage 1 will take place between 30 June to mid-August 2025. We’re rebuilding this part of the road, which will include fixing the road base, adjusting road levels and installing underground drains.
Road closure and detours:
This section of the road will be fully closed for 4 to 6 weeks.
We planned this through the July school holidays to reduce traffic impacts.
Signs will be in place to guide drivers around the area via Wood, Milne and James streets.
