A total fire ban has been declared across Banyule and all other parts of Victoria for today. No fires can be lit or be allowed to remain alight in the open air at any time on 22 February 2025.
The Safe Travel Plan has been developed to improve the safety of all modes of travel. We need to manage some of the risks (real and perceived) that people on foot or bicycle face when mixing it with cars and trucks on our roads and streets. This means giving people priority on local streets. It means slowing cars down when they are near where people can walk or ride. It means fewer cars on the road, and less kilometres driven by cars, per head of population. We need to reduce road trauma in Banyule, in particular, reducing the number of serious injuries occurring on our road network. The plan will work alongside 'Towards Zero': the State Government's vision for a future free of deaths and serious injuries on our roads, creating a City where there will be no preventable deaths or serious injuries at all on our roads.
