Ararat Rural City Council is pleased to announce the successful completion of the McLellan Street Culvert Project, a major achievement in our ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure and accessibility throughout the community.
The project required establishing a new section of road which is approximately 700m long, as well as the construction of crucial drainage infrastructure.
The extension of McLellan Street, between Alfred Street and Heath Street, now provides improved access to the Ararat East Development, as well as offering improved drainage and creating a smoother commuting experience for road users.
These works were completed by Miller’s Civil Contractors and funded jointly, with $650,000 received from the Victorian Government and Council providing an additional $100,000.
"Completion of the McLellan Street Culvert Project is a significant infrastructure milestone for the municipality,” says Ararat Rural City Council CEO, Dr Tim Harrison. “By extending McLellan Street, we've not only improved connectivity but also bolstered safety and efficiency for the community.”
