Project description

The reconstruction of Collins Parade addresses severe pavement deterioration that cannot be fixed by resurfacing alone, requiring a full granular road rebuild. The new line marking design, including parking lanes, enhances safety by providing traffic calming while allowing additional parking and easier vehicle movements for residents. Formalising the traffic management slow point with realignments and concrete median islands will reduce misuse and improve traffic flow. Together, these upgrades aim to create a safer, more durable road surface that better accommodates both commuter and local residential traffic, reducing existing safety hazards. The Collins Parade reconstruction aims to improve road safety and address pavement failures through full granular-level pavement strengthening to support ongoing bus route use. The works include repairing defective kerbing and footpaths, upgrading pram ramps, formalising traffic management at the Susan Road intersection, introducing new line marking for parking and traffic calming, and installing new kerb ramps near bus stops. This upgrade will create a safer, more accessible environment for local schools, shops, and public transport users. Council/s contribution: $929,000.00
