Making Our Roads Safer: Have Your Say

Council is undertaking a Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study of an area in Bacchus Marsh, with the aim of creating better traffic flow and safer roads.

Engineering firm Cardno has been commissioned to review traffic, parking and safety issues within the Bacchus Marsh area and assist with the study. The study area is bound by the Western Freeway to the north, Main Street/Bacchus Marsh Road to the south, and the Lerderderg River to the east (pictured below).

Council’s GM Infrastructure Phil Jeffrey said input from residents was crucial to achieving good outcomes. This feedback forms part of the initial community consultation for the project and will assist in developing a draft LATM plan.

“Who better to tell us the issues than local residents in the area and those who use the roads on a daily basis?” Mr Jeffrey said.

“We are seeking feedback on a range of issues, including traffic speed and irresponsible driving, increased through traffic, heavy vehicle use, lack of infrastructure such as pedestrian crossings, pedestrian and cyclist safety and parking issues.”

A direct mail out has been sent to those within the study area, but Council is also seeking input from those who may not live directly in the precinct, but use the roads and wish to provide feedback.

Further information can be obtained, and feedback provided at www.moorabool.vic.gov.au/consultations.
