Mackie Road Local Centre streetscape improvements

We are upgrading the Mackie Road Local Centre in Bentleigh East with new streetscape works to make the area safer, more accessible and welcoming for everyone.

What’s happening

We are delivering a range of streetscape improvements to improve safety, accessibility and amenity at Mackie Road Local Centre. Works include:

  • Installing upgraded seating
  • Installing new bike hoops
  • Building new garden beds in the kerb outstands

The upgrades will make the area easier to navigate, more comfortable to spend time in, and better connected for pedestrians and local businesses.

When works are happening

Works are scheduled to begin in mid-May and be completed by mid-June, weather permitting.

What to expect during construction

During construction, you might notice some noise and dust. Our contractors will do their best to keep this to a minimum. The street will remain accessible for all, though traffic management and reduced parking are expected for some periods while the kerb outstands are transformed. Please follow directions from traffic controllers and traffic management signage to safely travel through the area.

Staying informed

We will continue to provide updates through Council’s website and on-site signage during construction. Interpreter services are available for community members who need them.
