Project summary

Road safety upgrades are planned along Currie Street and works are expected to start in the 2026/2027 financial year. The planned works will include a roundabout, a raised plateau, line marking and road widening at key intersections.

As part of the City's ongoing commitment to road safety and traffic management, targeted upgrades are proposed along Currie Street to help reduce traffic incidents, improve safety and enhance accessibility for all road users.

After consultation with the community, the proposed upgrades include:

  • A solid line marking between Hanretty Street and Parkland Drive

  • road widening at Kingsbridge Road

  • a raised plateau at Welch Way.

The proposed plan has been developed using road safety best practices and take into account the existing infrastructure.

FAQs (Frequently asked questions)

What is the purpose of the proposed raised plateaus and roundabout? What will they look like?

The raised plateaus and roundabout are designed to improve road safety by reducing vehicle speeds and enhancing visibility. These traffic treatments aim to make Currie Street safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.

Example of a raised plateau:

The proposed treatment is near my driveway. Will this affect access or cost me anything?

If your driveway is impacted, the City will reinstate it at no cost to the property owner. Property access will be maintained throughout construction, with appropriate traffic management in place to assist residents as needed.

Will existing street lighting be upgraded as part of these works?

The City will assess the existing street lighting at each proposed treatment location and will upgrade it to meet Western Power standards, if required.

When will construction begin?

Works are expected to begin in the 2026/2027 financial year. Residents will be notified of the construction schedule closer to the start of works.

How can I provide feedback?

Community consultation on the proposed works closed on 5 September 2025. Changes have been made to the original design to reflect the feedback received.
