Construction works will commence on Green Street from Monday 19 October 2026, between Northeast Health Wangaratta’s Emergency Department entrance and main hospital entrance. The works will include drainage improvements, new kerb and pavement construction, construction of a new wombat crossing and associated pedestrian and landscaping works. Works are expected to continue until 22 December 2026, subject to weather, site conditions and hospital operational requirements.
Access to the Emergency Department and main hospital will be maintained wherever possible throughout construction. However, patients, visitors and community members should be aware that temporary changes to vehicle and pedestrian access will occur at different stages of the project. From 20 to 31 October, drainage works may require individual hospital entrances to temporarily close while trenching takes place across access points.
These closures are expected to be limited to the working day, with access reinstated as soon as practicable. Traffic and pedestrian management will be in place throughout the works. If you are attending NHW during this period, please allow additional travel time, take care around the construction area and follow all temporary signage and directions. Further updates will be provided as works progress, including information about a planned temporary closure of Green Street in November.
