We have been advised by Western Projects, Department of Transport that new speed limits to key locations across Ballarat will be implemented from Monday 30th June.

Sturt Street, Alfredton - reducing the speed from 70km/h to 60km/h on a 2.4 kilometre section of Sturt Street, from Pleasant Street to Learmonth Street.

Victoria Street, Ballarat East - reducing the speed from 70km/h to 60km/h on a 2.4 kilometre section from Fussell Street to Humffray Street.

Main Road, Ballarat - reducing the speed from 60km/h to 50km/h on a one kilometre section of Main Road from Humffray Street to Bradshaw Street.

Barkly Street - reducing the speed from 60km/h and 40km/h to a consistent 50km/h on a 1.1 kilometre section of Barkly Street from Victoria Street to Grant Street.

Grant Street - reducing the speed from 60km/h to 50km/h on a 900-metre section of Grant Street between Barkly Street and Doveton Street (Midland Highway).

Why a safer speed? 

The speed change is in response to a high number of enquiries from the community and the crash history on these sections of roads. 

Please travel safely and look out for the new speed limits in these areas.
