STIRLING city council will remove 40 “non-compliant” crash barriers without consulting the public.

Affected residents will receive prior notification in the post, but there will be no consultation where residents can comment on the proposal.

Barriers to be removed include those in Mt Lawley (Alexander Drive, North Street, Astor Lane), Dianella (Dianella Drive, Lotus Lane, Morley Drive, Walter Road, Yirrigan Drive)  and Yokine (Lonsdale Street, McDonald Street) .

An independent audit, commissioned by the council, recommended removal of barriers it had identified as non-compliant with Australian standards and with no justifiable crash-history.
