Safer Streets for Truganina Schools

Key points

• Planning has started for road safety upgrades around schools in Truganina. The state government says work will be carried out on Leakes Road and Clearwood Drive, a busy intersection used by Truganina P-9 College, childcare centres and sports teams.
• Upgrades include a safer pedestrian crossing at Clearwood Drive, lower speed limits on Leakes Road during school hours and electronic speed signs. Laverton MP Sarah Connolly said the intersection needed fixing and that she had advocated for the work.
• Planning is expected to be finished by early 2027, with site assessments to include temporary lane, footpath and speed limit changes.
