Group A- Project Update

11 October 2022

Thank you to all who took the time to participate in the Your Street, Your Say consultation and letting us know your thoughts. From your feedback we can now start work on the priority areas identified for Reservoir West, Preston West and Thornbury West.

We received good to high levels of support for 20 of the 21 proposed improvements, including good levels of support for the previously recommended top 8 high priority areas. We have decided not to implement the proposed plan on Murphy Street/Symons Street due to low level of community support. We will revisit this location with a view to considering alternative options for improvements in the future.

The improvements include pedestrian crossings, street closures, bike lanes, planting and changes to street layouts.

As part of working across the whole of Darebin to improve local streets for people who live, work, study or travel through Darebin, the next consultation for Group B for the Thornbury East, Northcote East, Fairfield, Bundoora, and Macleod areas will be starting later this year.

Subscribe to Your Streets Your Say to view the plans and to find out updates on when we will ask you for feedback for Group B later this year.
