Before: Before and After of Laurence Lane After

What we proposed:

  • Permanent closure of St Laurence Lane which will allow for placemaking opportunities such
  • as outdoor dining and landscaping

  • Parking on Main Road realigned from 90 to 60 degrees, allowing for a compliant disability parking space
  • Kerbside landscaping opportunities.
  • What we heard

    Of the contributions received via Participate Nillumbik, 77% supported the proposed changes at St Laurence Lane and Main Road.

    • Strong opposition to proposal to realign 90-degree parking to 60-degrees as it will result in spaces being lost and impact the traders;
    • Support for the closure and placemaking opportunity of St Laurence Lane;
    • Consider allowing nearby restaurants to serve food and/or alcohol in St Laurence Lane;
    • Support for the new Main Road central median island and new pram crossing;
    • Support for mature tree planting as part of the landscaping along this section of
    • Main Road to help make it a more attractive place to eat out; and
    • Concern the COVID-Safe St Laurence Lane seating is not suitable for all abilities
