Mildura Rural City Council is collecting trader and business feedback following the conclusion of a 12-month 30km/h speed limit trial in Mildura’s Central Business District (CBD).

The change in speed limit was implemented to deliver actions identified in the Mildura CBD Access and Mobility Strategy, which aimed to create an economically vibrant and safer CBD where all people, particularly children, older people and people living with disabilities feel safer when visiting local shops and services.

Lower speed saves lives. The survival rate of a person hit by a car improves from 50% at 40km/h to 90% at 30km/h.

The 30km/h limit will remain in place while until further notice.

The boundary will remain from Deakin Avenue to Pine Avenue and between Seventh Street and Tenth Street. Deakin Avenue and Seventh Street is not included.
