WODEN TOWN CENTRE IMPROVEMENTS 

Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, John Hargreaves, today announced that the Stanhope Government would invest $3.5 million in the Woden Town Centre.

“This exciting project will see substantial improvements to the infrastructure around the Woden Town Centre and bus interchange”, Mr Hargreaves said.

“This significant investment in the Woden area will include the construction of new infrastructure that will integrate new residential development with existing retail, public transport and office developments in the Town Centre.

“More than 500 dwellings are proposed to be constructed on vacant land on the eastern side of Callam Street.  

“Access to the subdivision requires the construction of Wilbow Street to link Callam Street to Easty Street.

“The operational need for Wilbow Street is identified in the Woden Town Centre Master Plan.
 
“The project scope will also see the realignment of the existing trunk cycle path and make provision for the proposed water quality control pond and stormwater treatment facility,” said Mr Hargreaves.
