  • Union Road, Surrey Hills and Mont Albert Road, Mont Albert Level Crossing Removal Project
    Union Road, Surrey Hills and Mont Albert Road, Mont Albert Level Crossing Removal Project Submission from Whitehorse City Council 18 February 2021 Summary Whitehorse City Council welcomes the opportunity to provide input into the Union Road and Mont Albert Road level crossing removal project (LXRP). The opportunity to remove these two at grade crossings at Mont Albert Road and Union Road, and to have their replacement with a safer alternative is supported in principle by Council. We provide this submission, to ensure the best possible outcome is developed by the LXRP for those members in the community who are most affected by this project and to ensure the locality of Mont Albert (for the City of Whitehorse) is developed suitably and respectfully. We have noted throughout our submission areas of concern; areas of support and what we request from the LXRP to ensure the project is developed with meaningful input from the stakeholders this project is being completed for. Introduction The City of Whitehorse welcomes the removal of the at-grade level crossing at Mont Albert Road. We acknowledge this major state government funded investment as the basis of this project to help people move comfortably and efficiently throughout the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, and to contribute to a more sustainable transport system. A double fatality involving two local residents occurred at the Union Road level crossing in 2016. It was a tragic incident that affected many members of the local community. The removal of these level crossings will ensure an incident of this nature does not occur again. In relation to the current proposal, the LXRP has confirmed there are two non- negotiable elements.
