MEMBERS STATEMENT

‘DENDY VILLAGE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING’.

Tuesday, 9 September 2025.

Mr NEWBURY (Brighton) (16:28):

After years of community advocacy, the State and Federal Governments have agreed to jointly fund pedestrian safety infrastructure in Dendy Village and Hampton Street.

The village is a busy thoroughfare. Currently there is no pedestrian crossing, and the site is unsafe.

After almost a decade of calling for action, a proper pedestrian crossing will be installed. This is a win for our community.

I must say a huge thankyou to Debbie and Theo from Fresh Connection for their incredible work on making this happen.

Community wins like this only happen because of wonderful community-minded people like Debbie, Theo and the many thousands of people who signed our petition and called for the crossing.

Thank you again to everyone who helped make this happen.
