Your Say Inner West
Every day, thousands of children across the Inner West walk, ride, scoot or are driven to and from school. We want to improve the safety of everyone on these journeys and we want your help to do that. We are focusing on every school in the Inner West Local Government area and looking at how we can improve pedestrian and traffic safety around each school. We want to know what safety issues you and your children experience on school journeys.
The feedback we receive will help inform future upgrades to footpaths and roads around your school.

Elected Council makes a decision
Council adopts the plan.
The project focus is limited to the streets immediately surrounding each school to ensure proposed improvements are practical, affordable and deliverable. Concentrating on nearby streets allows us to develop realistic proposals that can be implemented. This approach helps ensure improvements respond directly to school‑related safety and access issues, while still allowing for meaningful, visible outcomes for the community.
