About the Project

We are seeking feedback on a proposed pedestrian crossing at the eastern end of Murray Street in Wonthaggi

Proposed changes

Council is considering the installation of a new wombat style pedestrian crossing in Murray Street, similar to the crossings in Graham Street.

The crossing provides pedestrian priority and slows down traffic to make the crossing safer by using a raised platform.

This proposal is driven by requests from the local community and our commitment to improving road safety and reducing the barriers for pedestrians.

The project recognises the growing population of Wonthaggi and aims to improve pedestrian safety and amenity and provide pedestrian access to fringe parking.

The project strongly aligns with Council's strategic plans and studies for the area including:

• Integrated Transport Strategy
• Wonthaggi Activity Centre Streetscape Plan
• Wonthaggi Access and Movement Study
