Murray Road consultation results
To do this, we've combined aspects of Option 1 and Option 2 to come up with a design that uses the community's preferred parts of each proposal, while avoiding some of their challenges.The combined design retains Murray Road as a two-way road east of Ward Road, with a new boardwalk for cyclists, and converts Murray Road west of Ward Road to a one-way road with a more significant barrier between cyclists and traffic.
36 respondents wrote about this in extended responses.We responded by: This design limits road widening, and only a small amount of vegetation near the eastern end of Murray Road will be impacted.The community said: The safety of cyclists and pedestrians is critical.
We're also exploring adding further traffic-calming features, like speedbumps, to the design.The community said: Access to driveways for properties facing Murray Road matters.We responded by: This design maintains the use of Murray Road as a two way road between Ward Road and the Bellarine Highway, where properties have sole access off Murray Road.The community said: Respondents liked the idea of the boardwalk, but cost and maintenance was a concern.We responded by: Including a boardwalk between Ward Road and the Bellarine Highway.

Hesse Street Revitalisation update
Consultation found that the community’s five most valued features of Hesse Street were:
Local history, heritage buildings and features
The natural environment of Hesse Street, such as views and topography
The overall look and visual characterof the area
Vegetation and natural elements,such as street trees
Cleanliness of the space
Of these priorities, participants most significantly identified room for improvement with #4: Vegetation and natural elements.
Traders provided further feedback and ideas for the street, including detailed suggestions about specific areas for improvement. This feedback has been recorded by council and will also be considered as a draft plan is developed.
Once council has developed a draft plan that incorporates these features, we’ll seek further feedback from the community about the design. This consultation period is expected to occur later this year, and will be advertised in council publications.
