Road Safety through Traffic Management
We have been proactive in lowering speed zones throughout shopping precincts to ensure pedestrian safety.
Installing T intersections or mini-roundabouts reduces priority roads and lowers speeds of drivers as they approach an intersection, effectively reducing accidents.
We create traffic management plans and implement road closures when necessary. Our priority assessment helps to inform which roads receive attention and works.
Capital Works Projects
Capital Works projects are decided upon through public consultations, preparing briefs, concepts plans for design, project management, budget planning and funding, and consultation with other agencies.
Sustainable Transport
We help deliver upgrades and works to cycling and walking tracks. See the following section for details: Recreation Strategies & Policies.
Strategic Transport
We work with the Eastern Transport Coalition, providing strategic planning and seek external funding to improve transport services in Monash. Public transport is a State Government responsibility. We advocate for better frequency of services or advise when new routes for public transport may be needed.
Parking Management
Do you have an issue with residential parking which might be due to schools, public transport, or apartment blocks? Call us on 9518 3555 or email mail@monash.vic.gov.au
We routinely look to implement parking restrictions as a means to ensure appropriate parking for residents and streets remain unrestricted to traffic.
Do you know of an area that needs additional accessible parking spaces? We can help you out when we designate accessible parking bays for community needs.
If you require information about Parking Permits, please see the following section of our website: Parking Permits.
