FOLLOWING recent changes to traffic and parking arrangements surrounding the new Greater Shepparton Secondary College and Council are seeking feedback from residents, students and parents.
In late 2021, Council prepared a Local Area Traffic Management Plan (LATM) for the GSSC and implemented its recommendations before the opening of the GSSC.
The LATM made a series of recommendations to ensure that the local road network could cater for an increase in staff and students accessing the site during pick-up and drop-off times, while safely catering for pedestrian, cycling and vehicle movements around the precinct.
The implementation of the LATM resulted in traffic management and parking changes around the school site, including the introduction of line marking, changes to parking, and prohibiting certain right-hand turn movements on to and off Hawdon Street during pick-up and drop-off times.
Council is keen to hear feedback specifically on traffic management, parking restrictions during pick-up and drop-off times, all-day parking occupancy, pedestrian and cycling routes, and any safety concerns that these groups have.
Students, parents and residents are encouraged to leave their feedback on Council’s Shaping Greater Shepp site, which is open now until March 18 2022 via shaping.greatershepparton.com.au/hawdon-street-upgrade.
Feedback received will be used to inform any further changes required to traffic management and the parking regime.
