Overview
Council is undertaking a multi-stage upgrade to Pine Gully Road and surrounding traffic infrastructure. Upgrades are designed to improve road safety for motorists, pedestrians, and residents of the area, across a project site that stretches from the Old Narrandera Road intersection in the south to Estella Road in the north. Works will also support projected population growth in the area, by improving the efficiency of arterial roads and connectivity to both the city and essential services.
Benefits
Benefits the community will experience upon completion of this project include:
- Increased safety and efficiency for motorists and vehicles accessing this part of the city.
- Improved pedestrian safety and greater pedestrian access in the area.
- Upgraded traffic infrastructure that will support anticipated population and business growth.
- Enhanced arterial connections between the CBD and suburbs in the city’s north.
- Improved traffic flow at key points, especially during peak hours.
Project Delivery
The project will be delivered in stages, aligned with local development needs and with works scheduled as appropriate funding becomes available and is secured. Scheduling will also, where possible, account for seasonal traffic changes (such as school holidays and university breaks), ensuring bus and transport providers have enough time to plan alternative routes as required.
* All works are undertaken as weather and contractor availability permit.
Completed Works
Pine Gully Road intersection upgrade
The intersection upgrade at the intersection of Pine Gully Road and Cootamundra Boulevard to connect the newly constructed subdivision at Avocet Drive with Pine Gully Road has been completed.
Works commenced on 27 January 2026 and took approximately three months to complete, and involved the construction of a new roundabout, traffic islands, kerb and guttering, and drainage improvements at the intersection.
During the works, there will be a full road closure at the Pine Gully Road and Cootamundra Boulevard intersection.
The new roundabout opened to traffic on Friday 1 May 2026.
With the completion of these works, Council has closed the temporary access road it constructed in late 2025 to link Coppabella Drive to Pine Gully Road for use by residents and motorists during the construction of the roundabout.
What's ahead?
Planning is well underway for the next stage of the Pine Gully Road project, a new intersection at Estella Road linking to the northern part of Estella Rise via Jumbuck Drive.
Council is working on the design for this intersection to ensure the final solution meets safety standards and future demand as this part of Wagga Wagga continues to grow.
Funding
The Pine Gully Road upgrade project is funded by Wagga Wagga City Council.
