The council has proposed a $1.5 million project to install footpaths along a 500-metre stretch of Allens Rd. The initiative aims to address safety concerns for residents and visitors. The road currently lacks footpaths on either side, making it hazardous for pedestrians.
Local authorities have identified the absence of footpaths as a key issue. Residents of the nearby lifestyle retirement village have raised concerns about the lack of safe walking routes. The proposed footpaths would provide dedicated space for pedestrians, reducing risks for walkers and cyclists.
The plan follows growing pressure from the community to improve infrastructure. Council officials have acknowledged the need for safer public spaces. The project is expected to be part of a broader effort to enhance urban mobility. Details on the timeline and funding sources remain under review.
