The Southern Grampians Shire Council is excited to announce a major step forward in road safety improvements, thanks to a grant opportunity through the TAC’s Safe Local Roads and Streets program. This initiative, developed in partnership with the Department of Transport and Planning, provides funding of up to $2 million for each Victorian council to deliver critical road safety upgrades.

With this funding, the Council is focusing on addressing key recommendations from the 2023-2024 road safety audits, ensuring safer journeys for all road users across our Shire.

The planned upgrades include:

  • Safer intersections: Several Y-intersections will be transformed into T-intersections, which significantly improve visibility and reduce collision risks.

  • Enhanced school crossings: Flagged crossings near schools will be replaced with raised ‘Wombat crossings,’ offering safer, more visible pedestrian zones.

A full list of roads, streets and intersections for the planned upgrades, along with their concept plans can be found under documents.

The Council’s Assets Department is eager to hear from the community about these proposed upgrades. Your feedback will play a vital role in shaping the final plans and ensuring the improvements reflect the needs and priorities of local residents.
