Gisborne, Hamilton and Aitken streets - Pedestrian safety improvement

The Victorian Government is investing $23 million as part of the Safe System Pedestrian Infrastructure Program (SSIP), to improve safety at popular activity areas for pedestrians and other vulnerable road users. These upgrades are being delivered by Council in partnership with the Victorian Government as we continue to work  to deliver safer, connected journeys in Victoria.

Pedestrians are completely exposed to the full force of a collision, making them one of our most vulnerable road users. Infrastructure plays a vital role in preventing serious crashes, while also helping to reduce the severity of crashes when they’re unavoidable.

In partnership with the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), pedestrian safety is proposed to be improved by installing a wombat crossing on the western and southern legs of the roundabout at Hamilton and Aitken streets in Gisborne. This busy intersection is a gateway to Gisborne’s town centre and sees heavy pedestrian traffic.  

The project is currently in the design stage and construction dates will be published once the works are awarded.

The works are expected to be completed by the end of June 2025.
