30km/h speed limit trial

From 2026, we are trialling a speed limit of 30km/h in selected streets across Stonnington - including Chapel Street, local bike route streets and streets around some local primary schools.

The trial will run for 18 months from the installation of new 30km/h signs in the affected areas. Once the signs are up a survey on our Connect Stonnington Engagement hub will collect community feedback on the reduced speed limit. This page will go live following installation of the new 30km/h signs.

This initiative forms part of our Road Safety Improvement Program which delivers measures to improve road safety. It aligns with Council's Transport and Road Safety Strategy and supports the Victorian Government's target to halve fatal and serious injury crashes by 2030, and state and national targets to reduce road deaths to zero by 2050.

At the close of the 18-month trial, community feedback will be considered with traffic volumes, vehicle speeds, noise levels, local air quality and crash occurrence data to inform a decision on whether the 30km/h limit will remain in some or all of the trial streets.

Timeline

2026 - TBC

Consultation

In late 2024, we consulted the Stonnington community on a proposed road safety improvement program (RSIP) designed to create safer streets for everyone where people are comfortable to walk, ride, connect with others and feel safe.

The suite of RSIP initiatives was informed by community requests, our Road Safety Strategy and known road safety hotspots.

Following the consultation and consideration of community feedback, Council endorsed a range of road safety improvement projects in June 2025, including trialling a reduced speed limit of 30km/h in selected streets in Armadale, Prahran, South Yarra, Toorak and Windsor.

A Road Safety Improvement Program trials page, for community feedback on the 30km/h speed limit trial, will go live on the Connect Stonnington Engagement hub as soon as the new speed limit signs are installed.
