Update - safety first

Pedestrians have been restricted from using a section of roadside concrete just north of the Panorama Drive/Ziegenfusz Road intersection as a pathway for safety reasons.

This section of concrete verge was laid to enable maintenance access and to protect underground assets and was not designed for pedestrian use.

A wide shared pedestrian and cycle pathway on the other side of the road extends the full length of the road upgrade and has been purposefully designed to standard to help ensure the safety of all road users.

Council recognises the community’s desire for pedestrian access to this area and is actively investigating whether a safe solution can be implemented.

Signage will be installed on fencing at either end of the concrete verge to assist with community understanding of the safety risk.
