Council is dedicated to improving road safety for all users, including through the design and construction of safer road systems. Ensuring safety is a shared responsibility however — the public also needs to make responsible choices while using our roads and footpaths.
Road safety can be improved through infrastructure upgrades, road safety education, enforcement support, and close collaboration with agencies such as Victoria Police, the Department of Transport and Planning, and all levels of government.

Not all projects in development may be listed on this page immediately - projects will be progressively added over time.
Certain projects are more straightforward than others or there may be less non-negotiable elements, and they may not necessarily benefit from community feedback.
For these projects, Council may adopt an 'inform' approach and communicate the proposals in advance of construction starting, generally with residents and businesses directly relevant to the project area.
Other projects will benefit from community feedback to help shape the final designs and outcomes - Council may adopt a 'consult' approach for these projects, and invite community feedback formally through this platform.

Whether or not a project is listed as 'Open for comment', we still welcome all public feedback via the Contact Us details on this page.
