Kyneton, New Street - Pedestrian safety improvements

The Victorian Government is investing $23 million as part of the Safe System Pedestrian Infrastructure Program (SSIP), to improve safety at popular activity areas for pedestrians and other vulnerable road users. These upgrades are being delivered by Council in partnership with the Victorian Government as we continue to work  to deliver safer, connected journeys in Victoria.

Pedestrians are completely exposed to the full force of a collision, making them one of our most vulnerable road users. Infrastructure plays a vital role in preventing serious crashes, while also helping to reduce the severity of crashes when they’re unavoidable.

Pedestrian safety will be improved – particularly for nearby school students – by installing a wombat crossing and completing other associated works at the intersection of New Street and High Street in Kyneton.  

The works are scheduled to start towards the end of October, and are expected to be completed by mid-November 2025, weather permitting. Road closures and detours will be in place on New Street and the surrounding streets to complete these works safely and efficiently. Drivers should plan for minor delays due to the detours.
