Update - August 2022
The new traffic lights at the intersection of Gillies and Gregory streets are switched on.
Please be aware of the changed traffic conditions as you drive through the intersection.
Thank you for your patience while we delivered this important upgrade.
Background
Gillies Street is a busy road connecting schools, a train station, recreation facilities and nearby shopping precincts.
Approximately 2400 vehicles use this intersection each hour during peak time. This is expected to increase by 60 per cent by 2041. There were six crashes which resulted in injuries in this area between 2014 and 2019.

Benefits
With an increase in the number of people using Gregory Street and the continuous population growth in Ballarat West, traffic lights will:
- improve traffic flow
- provide safer turning opportunities
- provide safer crossing points for pedestrians
- create better pedestrian access to the upgraded Wendouree Train Station and nearby destinations
- reduce the risk of crashes at the intersection.
