Princes Street, Korumburra

Help us make the Princes Street, Korumburra school precinct safer.

South Gippsland Shire Council has been successful in obtaining an analysis grant as part of the 2022 Transport Accident Commission (TAC) Local Government Grant Program.

This grant will enable us to investigate pedestrian and traffic management options to improve safety along the Princes Street, Korumburra school precinct. The project will focus on the area in the image to the right-hand-side of your screen, which stretches from South Gippsland Highway to the roundabout with Guys Road, Bridge Street and Shellcot Road.

The project aims to identify improvements to pedestrian access and movements and other road safety within the Study Area, and to develop various concept designs for further community consultation. These concept designs will aim to highlight the improvements that can be made so it is safer for vehicles and pedestrians to move through this location.

Why Are We Doing This?

Council has received a number of complaints regarding:

• Pedestrian safety;
• Increasing volumes of turning traffic (buses and cars);
• Speeding traffic using Princes Street as a town bypass; and
• The lack of safe drop off and pick up parking zones.

Who Do We Want to Hear From?

We want to actively engage with school communities, local residents and businesses, bus operators, emergency services and the wider community to gain insights into local and school traffic.
