Background

In recent years, drivers have been using Brushfoot Boulevard as a through road, with increased traffic flow and an impact on the neighbourhood. The construction of the Aubin Grove Rail Station resulted in a reassessment of the traffic movements in the local area.

A traffic study was carried out by the Public Transport Authority as part of the Development Approval of the rail station project and the City measured the speed and volume of traffic in the area bounded by Russell Road, Hammond Road and Wentworth Parade.

To discourage use of Brushfoot Boulevard, the City closed the southbound entrance into the boulevard from Monday 3 October 2016. This occurred at the roundabout at the intersection with Wentworth Parade, adjacent to Boronia Park.

Consultation

In December 2017 the City sought comments from local residents and motorists who use Brushfoot Boulevard, Success, on the current traffic arrangements and whether they should remain the same or be changed. We received feedback from residents in Brushfoot Boulevard and surrounding streets.

The City hosted drop-in sessions on 24 and 27 February 2018 at the Success Regional Sporting Facility for residents to discuss the traffic issues with City Engineers. Thank you to those residents who attended.
