As part of the Epping Road Upgrade, the Wollert Methodist Church was relocated to enable road upgrade works at the Lehmanns and Epping roads intersection, supporting the preservation of an important local heritage asset.
The church had served the Wollert community for more than a century and was recognised for its historic and social value to the City of Whittlesea. Its Carpenter Gothic design, including timber cladding and lancet windows, was retained through the relocation to Carome Homestead in Mernda.
The relocation and subsequent restoration were undertaken by others in collaboration with the City of Whittlesea and heritage specialists. Following restoration, the church was reopened to the public and became a community asset managed by Working Heritage.
This outcome formed part of the Epping Road Upgrade’s broader legacy initiatives, aimed at delivering lasting community and heritage benefits alongside major transport infrastructure.
