Official information request - Pedestrian Crossing Audit

I refer to your official information request dated 19/08/2026

The information you have requested is below

1. Integration of police crash data: Council does not have a formal process for cross-referencing crash data in the auditing of pedestrian crossing infrastructure.

2. Geographic scope (main roads vs. suburbs): Council does not have a policy for suburban areas.

3. Asset scope (formal vs. informal crossings): No crossings (formal or informal) have been proactively audited on Council roads.

4. Future corrective actions: There have been no proposals to amend future pedestrian safety audit processes to systematically include suburban or informal crossings.
