The opportunity to provide feedback on this project has now concluded. Thank you to everyone who participated.

At the Ordinary Council Meeting on Tuesday 8 September 2020, in response to community feedback and a petition received on this project, Council endorsed the revised proposal for transport management works in Central Avenue, Acacia Avenue, Warratah Street and Wattle Grove, Seaholme.

The revised proposal seeks to resolve community concerns about parking and access to residential driveways around Seaholme train station. These works will include:

  • 2hr parking restrictions (9am to 5pm from Monday to Friday) in Acacia Avenue, Wattle Grove, Waratah Close and on the northern side of Central Avenue
  • no stopping signs at intersections for improved sight distance
  • line markings to show car parking spaces to mitigate overhang across driveways
  • on-street indented parallel parking on the southern side of Central Avenue

Council has listened to residents' concerns for the proposed one-way traffic changes on Central Avenue and Acacia Avenue and has removed this aspect from its traffic management plans.

The implementation works for the installation of all signs and line marking indicated in the revised proposal will be carried out by November 2020. The construction of parallel car parking along the southern side of Central Avenue will occur in the first half of 2021.

Residents on Central Avenue, Acacia Avenue, Warratah Street and Wattle Grove may apply for resident and visitor parking permits via the Hobsons Bay City Council website. Click here to find out more, or visit www.hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au and click on the 'Parking Permits & Fines' link on the homepage.
