The decision came after consideration of the intersection’s low collision rate and funds available for any improvement works.

THE new bridge connecting Bonbeach and Carrum has been christened with a name. Sonya Kilkenny visited the bridge on 26 October to announce the name: the Karrum Karrum Bridge. Ms Kilkenny said the name was chosen from 200 submissions because it pays respect to the Bunurong people. “By choosing the name Karrum Karrum, we are combining modern vibrant design with local Indigenous principles to enhance peoples connection to a place, to its stories and to what came before,” she said. “The revitalisation of Carrum will help boost business for local shops by attracting more people to the area and provide more ways for residents and visitors to enjoy the bayside suburb.”

‘Nothing to consider’ for golf plans PLANNING Minister Richard Wynne MP has confirmed that there is no prosal in front of him to rezone Kingswood Golf Course. Kingston Council’s decision to deny a planning permit to the developer will for now be upheld. “Developers of the Kingswood golf course at Dingley Village have put their plans on hold following Kingston Council’s decision to abandon seeking an amendment to the planning scheme to re-zone the site,” Mr Wynne said. “The developer has issued a statement saying they accept the decision and do not plan to resubmit their proposal.
