As part of the ngurrak barring (RidgeWalk) trail, we’re planning to upgrade several pedestrian crossings and footpaths across the Dandenong’s.

We want to develop a solution that:

• Creates a pedestrian-friendly town for all ages and abilities
• Supports local communities and businesses

• Promotes walking rather than driving
• Encourages safer speeds for drivers

We are proposing to install a raised intersection with pedestrian crossings in the heart of Sassafras on Mount Dandenong Tourist Road and Mountain Highway.

We have worked closely with schools, businesses and other key stakeholders in Sassafras over the past few months to understand their needs and aspirations. We now want to hear from you! Your feedback will inform our design and shape the future of Sassafras.
