Train works interrupt traffic LEVEL crossing removal works will force the closure of some local roads this month. To allow for works to construct rail trenches, roads will be closed across Edithvale, Chelsea, and Bonbeach. The Lochiel Avenue, Edithvale level crossing is closed to vehicles until 7pm Wednesday 30 September. Station Street in Edithvale will also be closed between Lochiel Avenue and Edithvale Road from 21 September to 2 October. There will be no vehicle access from Bank Road via the Nepean Highway
from 7am to 3.30pm on 26 September and 7am to 6pm on 28 September. Lane closures and reduced speed limits will be in place along sections of Station Street between Edithvale and Bonbeach from 5 September onwards, between 7pm and 6am each night. Local bus routes 706 to Mordialloc and 902 to Airport West will also not stop at selected stops until early 2022. Other traffic disruptions along the Nepean Highway and Station Street from Aspendale to Bonbeach are expected until mid 2021.
Five level crossings between Edithvale and Bonbeach are being removed as part of this batch of works. Works have continued throughout the latest stage of COVID-19 restrictions. Piling works begin this week. Holes will be dug and then filled with concrete to create foundations for the rail trench.

Caretaker mode kicks in KINGSTON Council has entered caretaker mode, with the election just one month away. Nominations to become a candidate at the October council elections closed 22 September. As of publication deadline, 67 people have put their hand up to run. At this year’s elections, Kingston Council will expand from nine councillors to eleven. A change to a single member ward structure means voters will select just one councillor to represent each ward in the municipality, rather than the old system of at least three councillors being elected in each ward. Victorian councils entered caretaker
period on 22 September. Caretaker mode prohibits councils from making certain types of decisions and from producing materials which could affect voting at the election. Ballot packs will be posted to residents between 6 and 8 October. The packs will contain a ballot paper with statements and photographs of each ward candidate, a ballot paper envelope, voting instructions, and a replypaid envelope. A full list of candidates for this year’s election can be found at vec. vic.gov.au/voting/2020-local-councilelection/elections/kingston-city-council/nominations
