Beaufort Street and Harold Street Black Spot Project

22 March 2023

Status: Consultation closed 5pm, Wednesday 3 May 2023. Community feedback has been assessed and a report presented to Council on 22 August 2023. At this meeting Council supported an alternative recommendation - more information, and a copy of the minutes, is available to view here.

Background: Between 2014 and 2018, the Beaufort Street and Harold Street intersection recorded six crashes. The project proposed installing half seagull islands on both the east and west approaches of Harold Street and extending the median along Beaufort Street to prevent right turns, however this recommendation was not carried at the August 2023 Council meeting.
