You may be wondering – what is a streetscape?

Streetscapes are thoughtfully designed public spaces along streets to enhance community well-being and balancing safe movement for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles. 🚶🚲🚘

Streetscapes can include features like footpaths, street trees, lighting, and public art. ✨

Now, we want your input on our 2025-2029 Streetscape Plan! Adams Road as pictured below is one of the proposed streetscape sites.

Take the survey here 👉 https://brnw.ch/21wPqQQ

Consultation closes 18 December.

Traffic alert:
Unplanned roadworks are underway at the Morphett Road and Seacombe Road roundabout, at Seacombe Heights, due to damaged stormwater infrastructure.

The southern exit to the roundabout is closed and detours are in place. This is causing delays for commuters.

Drivers are urged to consider alternate routes with crews expected to work through the night

Great to attend the LGA AGM last week and hear about the advocacy work they undertake on behalf of local government.

New legislation around defibrillators was particularly interesting!
