have your say - Rupert Street upgrade, east of Bairnsdale City Oval
Please review the concept plans before completing this survey
 Option 1 - existing carriageway |
We are committed to planning and building infrastructure that supports the safety of community and enriches the lifestyle, and character of our communities.
Our design consultant has developed two options for the upgrade of Rupert Street, east of the Bairnsdale City Oval.
OPTION 1: existing carriageway
With option 1 the road will remain as a partly divided and partly single road with service lanes. The northern kerb will be modified in the single road sections to achieve a consistent 7.3m road width, plus a single parking lane on the southern side of the road. This design addresses safety concerns at the current narrow pinch points in Rupert Street.
OPTION 2 - divided carriageway
In option 2, the existing service lanes will become through lanes, with a grassed median strip extending from one end of Rupert Street to the other. The entire road will have carriageways of the same width and parking lanes on both sides. While a divided residential street offers benefits such as improved safety, aesthetics, and parking lanes, it generally costs more to construct.
Both options -
- will achieve the same drainage improvements (new underground drainage pipes and pits, and a gross pollutant trap to catch litter and sediments before the outfall).
- include a new footpath link on the northwest side of Rupert Street
- include new road pavement
- sections of new kerb and channel where required
We want to hear what you think, so we’ve put together a survey to collect your feedback.
