Tree Planting in Graham Street
This part of the project will see 13 Crepe Myrtle trees planted along Graham Street improving the look and feel of the street.
Bass Coast Shire Council is getting ready to deliver the Tree Planting in Graham Street as part of the Wonthaggi Activity Centre improvements. As part of this project, 13 Crepe Myrtle trees are being planted along Graham Street, bringing colour, shade and vibrancy to the town centre while maintaining Wonthaggi’s unique character and history.
Preliminary works such as site setup and locating underground services will begin on Wednesday 27 August, with construction starting on Monday 1 September. Works are expected to take around 13 weeks to complete. To minimise disruption to local businesses and traffic, most of the activity will occur at night between 9pm and 8am, although some daytime concreting will be required due to material supply.
During construction, you can expect to see machinery and crews on site carrying out pavement removal, excavation, and installation of new tree pits with specialised underground support systems. Once complete, the road surface will be reinstated, parking bays realigned, and line marking refreshed. While there will be some temporary restrictions to car parking and short periods of noise and vibration, every effort will be made to keep disruption to a minimum. Emergency vehicle access will be maintained at all times, and traffic management measures will be in place throughout the project.
We appreciate the patience of businesses and the community while these works are underway, and we look forward to delivering a greener, more people-friendly Graham Street for everyone to enjoy.
This project is jointly funded by Regional Development Victoria through the Regional Development Fund and Council’s Capital Works Program 2024 - 25.

Bass Coast Shire Council have a long-term vision for the Wonthaggi Activity Centre. The project will address the following key objectives:
The project addresses incentives to ride and walk, protected bike lanes which will provide safe and comfortable environments to travel, ensuring safe access to all pedestrians, ample carparking and shared streetscapes.
The streetscape improvements, achieved through creatively landscaped areas will provide a physical and community connection to multiple spaces throughout the town.
This part of the project will see 13 Crepe Myrtle trees planted along Graham Street improving the look and feel of the street.
This initiative enhances accessibility with 26 car parking spaces and will include rectification and resealing of Watt Street, ensuring a comprehensive transformation.
The schematic design stage is complete. The designs present a vibrant, connected town centre with an emphasis on walking, biking, and inclusive shared spaces.
The Wonthaggi Activity Centre Plan is a 20-year vision, providing guidance to enhance the centre's character and liveability.
This Plan will revitalise the town, prioritising pedestrians, connecting key areas, and shifting to sustainable transport. With protected bike lanes, ample parking, and innovative solutions, it fosters a vibrant and future-proofed community.
A 30-year vision with a focus on 'doing more with less.' As Wonthaggi's population is expected to double, the project looks at designing a transport system that is space and environmentally efficient, providing access to healthier transport modes and creating people-focused streets.
Bass Coast Shire Council acknowledge the Bunurong as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands and waters, and pays respect to their Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and Lore.
Bass Coast Shire Council celebrates the opportunity to embrace and empower the Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Island Communities in their diversity.
Bass Coast Shire Council will create opportunities for future recognition and respectful partnerships that will honour the Traditional Owners and Custodians, and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
