Overview

The Gregadoo Road Corridor Strategy identifies the future road upgrades required to meet traffic demands related to city growth for the Gregadoo Road corridor. The strategy (endorsed by Council at their meeting on 24 February 2025) aims to improve safety and travel efficiency for all users of the road corridor, including motorists, pedestrians and cyclists.


Enacting this strategy will require an amendment to the Gregadoo Road Corridor project (TT7) detailed in the Wagga Wagga Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan (LICP) 2019-2034. The proposed change will see funding identified in the LICP, redirected from the intersection of Gregadoo Road and Plumpton Road to the intersection of Gregadoo Road and Plunkett Drive.

This change is in acknowledgement of - and is designed to address - the poorer levels of service and safety experienced at the Gregadoo Road/Plunkett Drive intersection, particularly during morning and afternoon school drop-off and pick-up times, compared to the Gregadoo/Plumpton intersection.

There is currently a planning proposal to rezone land to the west of Gregadoo Road (between Plumpton and Holbrook Roads), which is being assessed by Council.

Given that this new development area will trigger the need for an intersection upgrade at Gregadoo and Plumpton Roads, it is then appropriate that Section 7.11 contributions are collected from this area, in order to fund such a future upgrade.

The intersection upgrade of Gregadoo and Plumpton Roads will be considered as part of the Plumpton Road project.

The changes required to the LICP, with regard to Gregadoo Road Corridor Project TT7, are shown below.
