Victorian Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Melissa Horne, in October 2024 announced works funded through the $210 million Safer Local Roads and Streets Program had begun.
The Government is allocating up to $2 million each to 79 councils across the State and will provide a wide range of safety improvements until 30 June 2027 – with projects set to deliver new raised crossings, upgrades to kerbs, intersections, roundabouts and pedestrian islands.
The City of Greater Geelong Council has delivered the first of the program’s projects in Clifton Springs, where a new roundabout and raised pedestrian crossing was installed last month.
Works are set to begin in Brimbank Council later in November to build new speed humps across three local roads to encourage slower speeds along the 1.5 kilometre stretch of straight road.
“Working alongside Victoria’s councils, we’re delivering important upgrades on local roads today, so our communities are safer into the future,” said Minister Horne.
The Safter Local Roads and Streets Program is backed by the Government’s 2030 Road Safety Strategy targets – which aims to halve rod deaths, reduce serious injury and ultimately achieve zero trauma by 2050.
