Safer streets for Thornbury students

A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will invest $300,000 to plan for safety upgrades at two high-risk intersections in Thornbury. 

Students, families and cyclists use the intersections at Darebin Road and Wilmoth Street, and Station Street and Collins Street every day. 

That’s why Labor will fund detailed assessments and development work, laying the important groundwork for lasting improvements that will make these busy intersections safer for everyone. 

This means working people will be able to get to where they need to go safer and sooner. 

Labor knows local communities deserve safe, well-connected local roads. 

That’s why Labor is backing safety upgrades on the roads locals use every day. 

The alternative is a Liberal-One Nation Coalition who are promising $40 billion in cuts.

Quotes attributable to Member for Northcote Kat Theophanous 

“Every day, students and families around Thornbury High and Wales Street Primary navigate busy roads, turning traffic and difficult crossings.” 

“I’ve worked closely with our school communities and local residents to push for action, sponsoring their petition in Parliament and taking their calls for an expert-led safety assessment directly to the Roads Minister.”
