About the project
This project is part of Council’s Suburban Corridor Modernisation (SCM) program, which focuses on minor works at intersections to improve safety for all road users.
In 2022, the community provided feedback and supported various improvements along the Kenmore Road corridor as part of this project.
We used this feedback, along with our technical review, to progress designs for the key locations identified in this design.
Construction of other supported improvements along the corridor is subject to future funding.
Safety, accessibility and amenity upgrades
Improvements for Kenmore Road include:
- 2 pedestrian refuge splitter islands and kerb ramps at the Kenmore Road and Gilruth Road roundabout
- upgraded kerb ramps on Crestview Street at Kenmore Road
- line marking and 2 traffic islands on the bend between 50 and 54 Kenmore Road
- upgrading existing lighting
- painting other associated line marking, including yellow ‘No stopping’ islands.
On-street parking will not be permitted where yellow ‘No Stopping’ lines are in place to ensure safe sightlines and appropriate visibility at crossing points and intersections, and to ensure lanes are wide enough for traffic to safely pass.
Off-road shared path
In response to feedback, Council is also undertaking initial investigations into the feasibility of an off-road shared path on Kenmore Road between the Centenary Motorway overpass and Sunset Road.
Potential improvements identified through this process will help to inform Council’s future planning and design program, as we continue to work through investigations and upgrades in line with broader citywide objectives.

Project timing
