Our Concerns
The Community was not consulted:
The Program is overkill, utterly disproportionate to the empirical incident data and risk. It does not reflect balance between safety and preservation of the economic tourism value of the iconic hinterland.
The concurrent and separate program of works outside United Service Station is incoherent, was not requested by anyone in the local area and is suggestive of future chaos and unsafe movement of traffic. Again, it is disproportionate to the need and reflective of suburban solutions being imposed onto a rural setting.

Our Concerns
The Community was not consulted:
- ahead of Council submitting for this Federal Blackspot funding
- about the nature, scope and impact of the works once funding was approved
- about the separate works in front of United Service Station.

Our Objectives
- Council to remove barriers and signage in front of Eldridge Estate along Arthurs Seat Road.
- Council to consult with the community providing justification for retention of all other barriers and signs related to this Arthurs Seat Road program.
- Council to commission a fresh independent report on management of traffic movement on the stretch of road in front of United Service Station, Focus, Red Hill General Store, Red Hill Garden Centre, Julian Newcombe Design and Red Hill BBQ and subject to community consultation on the recommendations made in that report, modify and rectify the works.
- Council to acknowledge the lack of community consultation and inadequate engagement ahead of making submission for this Blackspot Funding.
- Council to commit to genuine consultation and engagement ahead of any future program concerning public infrastructure in the Red Hill Ward.
