Update
This consultation is now closed. The proposal received majority support from the community and will continue on to the delivery phase.
Timing on construction will be communicated by letter drop to residents as well as through updated information on this page.
Background
We're seeking community feedback on a proposal to change the intersection of Broome Street and Wright Street.
Between 2016 and 2020 the Broome Street and Wright Street intersection has recorded a total of five crashes, with two requiring hospitalisation or medical treatment.
This Black Spot project aims to mitigate the severity of accidents by installing a roundabout. Roundabouts reduce oncoming speed and manage the traffic flow in one direction through the intersection.
The project will be funded through the Australian Government’s Black Spot Program, which aims to reduce crashes and save lives on Australian roads by funding works at high-risk locations.
Modelling and research conducted by Vincent has shown that the proposed roundabout is the most effective and safe option to reduce risk at this intersection.
Benefits:
Enhanced safety for pedestrians and motorists
Improved lighting
Reduces speed, traffic volume and crash risks
Project details:
Install a roundabout to improve visibility of and slow down oncoming traffic for road users
Install crossings for pedestrians
