The East Avenue pedestrian refuge has yet to get past our Road Safety Committee after an alternative proposal, suggested by our Administration, was not accepted.

After two public consultations, one originally at the current location and one recently adjacent Dunrobin Street, we now await some finessing on the design and advice from admin on what further public engagement will be legislatively required.

The Road Safety Committee should be in a position to make a recommendation to Council next month. And then the original aim of providing safer access across East Avenue for school children heading west to Black Forest Primary or east to Goodwood Primary or St Thomas will have been addressed.
