Brimbank council is calling for community feedback on the recently released concept plan to upgrade Suffolk Road between Compton Parade and Holehouse Street in Sunshine North.
The plan includes greening up the street by adding multiple new trees and garden beds, the addition of street furniture for an outdoor dining opportunity and removing the bike lane to widen the footpath, the road itself will become a shared lane for vehicles and bicycles.
The plans are currently available to view on the council’s website which was put together from community consultation back in early December last year.
The December consultation found that community members wanted more greenery and shade, improved footpath condition, a less car dominated area, additional pedestrian amenities and better bicycle safety.
Feedback closes on Thursday, August 4 where community members are able to provide specific feedback as well as vote on the selection trees and street furniture for the new development.
