About the project

We're responding to the community concerns that it’s difficult for rubbish trucks and other emergency vehicles to turn safely in Elgin Place.

The street is a narrow cul-de-sac, and when cars parked on both sides - especially near the end - it blocks access, driveways, and makes it hard for rubbish trucks to turn and get in and out.

The changes we're making by February 2026

  • Installing no stopping at all times (broken yellow lines) around the end of the cul-de-sac from #6 to #9 Elgin Place, Red Beach.
  • To clear access for the changes, we need to reallocate road space by removing three parking spaces.

Benefits to your community

  • Easier and safer turning for rubbish trucks and other large vehicles.
  • Clears access for large vehicles and emergency services into and out of Eglin Place.
  • Driveways kept clear so residents can get in and out more easily.
  • Improves visibility for drivers to see oncoming cars, people walking, cycling and crossing the road, making the street safer for everyone.

What happens next

  • Any change to the plan will be updated on our website.
  • It will take one day to paint the road marking in good weather conditions.
  • We know this may cause some inconvenience, and we will tried to minimise this as much as possible while balancing safety concerns.
  • Please remember to park courteously and avoid blocking driveways. Vehicles parked illegally may receive infringement notices or be towed away.
