Construction was completed at the end of February 2026. This pedestrian crossing includes kerb island build-outs to reduce the overall crossing distance, kerb ramps, and handrails on both sides of the road to provide a focal point for pedestrians and drivers. Lighting at the location was also upgraded. This project aimed to make this area of Hays Street safer for pedestrians crossing the road in accordance with Australian Standards and Department for Infrastructure and Transport requirements.
