Templestowe Route Upgrade

We have included an additional field in the Proposed improvements to Templestowe Route survey.

You can now provide your preferences on a new proposed solution – To advocate for a reduced speed limit to 50km/hour on the route.

This will apply from Union Street to the Milne Road roundabout, and from Atkinson Street roundabout to Porter Street. It excludes areas where a 40km/hour speed limit has been proposed.

This speed limit change aims to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists and reduce traffic congestion.

The proposed solution was suggested via a community survey response, received in October 2023.

Consultation for the upgrade will remain open for four weeks.

Have your say on the proposed solutions by completing our survey online.

We also invite you to drop into our public consultation sessions on Wednesday 22 November, between 4.00pm and 8.30pm at Manningham United Church, Templestowe.

Did you complete the survey before 27 October? You can still have your say on the new solution:

• Follow this link to the survey.
• Select your answer for the proposal in row three (Advocate for a speed reduction to 50km per hour for the remainder of the route).
• Provide comments only for proposal three. You will not need to resubmit your earlier responses.
• Submit your survey response.

This consultation closes on 29 November 2023.
