Consultation has concluded

Each year Maribyrnong City Council commits 30% of its rates budget to road improvement works across the City.

This equates to millions of dollars spent upgrading and improving roads and footpaths to help manage safety, accessibility and functionality of the space for all users – pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.

Upgrades are also often made to the surrounding environment landscape which may include removal and replacement of unhealthy trees.

You have recently received a flyer notifying you of the proposed road improvement works in your area.

We're keen to understand what you think about these proposed works.

Please see the concept designs here
