Implement a 40 km/h area speed limit for the local streets within the area bounded by Tooronga Road, High Street, Glenferrie Road and Wattletree Road. The area has high numbers of people walking and riding to local shopping strips, the Cabrini Private Hospital precinct on Wattletree Road and Isabella Street, and to St Joseph’s Primary School and De la Salle College in the north of the precinct on Stanhope St, Dalny Street and High St. Safer speeds reduce both the likelihood and the consequences of crashes, and encourage walking and cycling. New speed signage would be installed.

June 2025 Update: Council approved to progress the implementation of the 40km/h speed zones. Further information will be made available on the major infrastructure works and projects page when the program is implemented.

Implement a 40 km/h area speed limit for the local streets within the area bounded by Wattletree Road, Tooronga Road, Dandenong Road, Station Street and Glenferrie Road. The area is predominantly residential with many people walking and riding to the nearby Malvern Railway Station, shopping precinct, a local church, and Malvern Primary School. Safer speeds reduce both the likelihood and the consequences of crashes, and encourage walking and cycling. New speed signage would be installed.

June 2025 Update: Council approved to progress the implementation of the 40km/h speed zones. Further information will be made available on the major infrastructure works and projects page when the program is implemented.

Trial a 30km/hr speed limit (down from the current 40km/h) on Stanhope St between Glenferrie Rd & Dalny St and on Dalny St to further improve safety for the school community, especially for those walking and riding during pick-up and drop-off, and others in the community. Safer speeds reduce both the likelihood of, and the consequences of crashes. New speed signage would be installed. Trial would run for 18 months with further opportunities to provide feedback to help determine if it is made permanent.

June 2025 Update: At this time, the project is not proceeding, though it may be revisited in the future.

Trial a new local bike route, providing a less busy and lower speed alternative to Tooronga Road. This bike route would provide access to Tooronga Station, Gardiners Creek Trail, Malvern St shops, Malvern Primary School and Dandenong Road shared path. Safer speeds reduce both the likelihood of, and the consequences of crashes. Trial would include a 30km/hr speed limit with new signage, new ‘sharrow’ pavement markings, and new speed cushions. Trial would run for 12 months with further opportunities to provide feedback to help determine if it is made permanent.

June 2025 Update: Council has progressed this project, with further consultation occurring through direct mail with residents who live on these streets.
