Project updates


Project details

Council is proposing to improve pedestrian and motorist safety in Learmonth Street, between Boomerang Street and Tillock Street. This addresses residents’ concerns about speeding in Learmonth Street which Council has investigated and confirmed is an issue. The proposal is a continuation of the Local Area Traffic Management measures recently completed in Waratah Street and Tillock Street, Haberfield.

The proposed work includes introducing bus friendly speed cushions in the middle of the following blocks:

  • Boomerang Street and Dudley Street;
  • Dudley Street and Kingston Street; and
  • Kingston Street and Tillock Street.

The work would also include painting associated line markings.

Parking changes

This proposal would replace a redundant driveway on the side of 38 Dudley Street with kerb and gutter which would result in one parking space being gained.

There are no other changes to existing parking in the street.
