Intersection of Urquhart and High Streets, Woodend

Council has been advocating to the Victorian Government and the Department of Transport and Planning for a number of years, relating to community and Council safety concerns for the intersection at Urquhart and High streets in Woodend (just outside of the supermarket complex).

At its December 2024 Council Meeting, Council endorsed a Notice of Motion to write to The Hon. Melissa Horne MP, Minister for Roads and Road Safety:

  1.  advising of Council and the community’s ongoing daily safety concerns for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles at the intersection of Urquhart Street and High Street, Woodend;
  2. requesting an urgent written response on when a recommendation for treatment to the intersection will be made publicly available for community feedback.
