Keeping kids safe

Students crossing at the corner of Centre and Eskay Roads in Oakleigh South (pictured above) are now in the safe hands of a Kingston Crossing Supervisor. We placed a supervisor there last year in response to community concerns about speeding and inattentive drivers. The schools are not in Kingston but a section of road is and the safety of our young road users is paramount. We manage 100 crossings and have more than 84 crossing supervisors – and we’re on the hunt for more.

When you’re on the road during school hours, slow down, be patient and respect our crossing supervisors.

Tell us your ideas for Kingston

Community ideas for new services, initiatives and projects to be considered for annual budgets will be captured 365 days a year thanks to our new consultation Talking Kingston.

Community members are invited to provide year-round feedback for immediate action or to be considered for funding in future budgets. This is a great way for us to capture a wide mix of ideas well before we start drafting our budget. It ensures that we have the community’s suggestions for the future if an idea can’t be implemented in the short-term.

Talking Kingston is part of our commitment to partnering with the community to shape Council services, projects and initiatives.
