Perth Street one-way traffic flow

In August 2020, we commenced a trial of one-way traffic flow in Perth Street, Prahran.

The trial responds to community concerns about ongoing traffic volume and congestion along Perth Street.

This will be supported with adequate signage and temporary kerbing.

There will be consultation with surrounding residents and businesses before determining if the change is made permanent.
