Red Hill Character Study
After many years of campaigning, RHCA is pleased to hear the Mornington Peninsula Shire is moving ahead to prepare a Red Hill Character study as part of its Coastal Villages and Neighbourhoods Strategy.
The Shire is calling for tenders to prepare the strategy document and will engage our local community. The project is about ensuring long-term planning and appropriate design in regard to all aspects of public and private development. It will provide an assessment of the design/character attributes of each township and settlement and prepare associated design improvement plans, policies, design guidelines and related recommendations for improved planning controls among other things.
The project is estimated to be completed by July 2019. More information is available here.
Red Hill Traffic Management Study
Red Hill Traffic Management Study has been drafted and is now available for consideration. View a copy of the Traffic Management Study here.
RHCA made a detailed submission seeking: infrastructure upgrades to improve major roads servicing the Red Hill area, particularly White Hill and Arthurs Seat Roads; provision of adequate parking at the Red Hill United service station area, Red Hill Consolidated School and Red Hill South; bike lane for White Hill and Arthurs Seat Roads; and, ensure infrastructure is capable of meeting fire emergency response and evacuation needs.

Red Hill Reflections
A colourful large-scale mural has been painted on the rear wall of Blue Moon Trading at the entrance to the Merricks-Red Hill shared trail and was officially opened on Friday 15 June. Come down and take a look at it!
The 20 x 4 metre mural was painted by local artist Michael Leeworthy and students from Dromana Secondary College. It features nine separate panels as tributes to our areas' Aboriginal heritage, the indigenous fauna and flora, the early settlers, rail line, the food and farmgates, and the walkers, bike and horseriders that use the trail.
The mural was commissioned by RHCA to cover the unsightly graffiti and help beautify the area as part of stage 2 of the Red Hill Station Reserve redevelopment. It was sponsored by the Mornington Peninsula Shire's Creative Community Grant.
