Bairnsdale - Moroney Street upgrade
We are improving the road and drainage infrastructure in Moroney Street, Bairnsdale.
The overall objective is to upgrade Moroney Street with a consistent seal width, new underground drainage, kerb and channel, footpath installation as required, parking lanes, tree planting and upgrades to all intersections to improve road safety.
This project involves upgrading the whole of Moroney Street and will be completed in three stages.
There is no cost to residents or property owners for this project.
Stage 1 – Dawson Street to McKean Street - completed
Stage 2 - McKean Street to Birchwood Court - completed
Stage 3 – Birchwood Court to Riley Street - commenced
From Monday 28 August 2023 the intersection of Moroney Street and Taylor Street, Bairnsdale saw significant changes.
Taylor Street traffic no longer has right of way, with give-way line marking installed for traffic direction.
Moroney Street will have the right of way.
Appropriate signage, including ‘Changed Traffic Conditions’ regulatory signage will be installed in the coming days.
As well as Line Marking and Signage, the Taylor Street intersections approaches have two x flat top road humps installed to pacify motorists’ approach to the intersection (like the McCulloch Street intersection).
These changes were recognised as appropriate measures through a ‘Road Safety Audit’ undertaken during the design of the Moroney Street upgrade (3 Stages).

Is the medium strip staying in Bredt st once this roundabout is done. How come the road has restricted access/parking for residents? Why is the new road not straighter?
Hi FWoolan,
Thank you for taking the time to ask some questions. The median strip will still be maintained into the future; with the roundabout construction within the centre of the intersection only.
The road has a temporary closure in place for a period of up to 3 weeks, with ‘local traffic only’ restrictions along some sections of Moroney Street and Bredt Street (outlined in the Traffic Map provided).
Off-street parking is still available for local traffic (residents) to maintain access to homes at all times.
The road is being constructed in a way that slows vehicle speed, as per the independent ‘Road Safety Audit’ recommendations.
We welcome your continued interest in this project. Please sign-up to follow the project on YourSay to receive important information directly to your inbox.
Warm regards, Sally
