Sunraysia Residential Services Inc. (SRS) has welcomed a Mildura Rural City Council decision to progress improvements to pedestrian safety on Fifteenth Street between Deakin and Walnut Avenues, with a pedestrian refuge island to be considered as part of Council’s 2027/28 Capital Works Program.
Council is proposing to locate the pedestrian refuge near the ALDI supermarket and Marsden Drive, allowing pedestrians to cross one lane of traffic at a time when they deem it safe to do so.
Motorists will not be required to give way to pedestrians as part of the proposal.
Councillors unanimously endorsed the recommendation at the October Council Meeting, following the submission of a SRS-led petition signed by more than 250 concerned residents in June 2026.
