In 2019, as part of the Cremorne Place Implementation Plan (CPIP) managed by the the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA), the City of Yarra released a draft Streets and Movement Strategy for Cremorne.

The consultants who helped prepare the draft were Martyn Group and Hansen Partnership. The document examined the existing conditions and identified opportunities for improvement.

Existing conditions

The document correctly identified zones of pedestrian congestion, and streets with high number of vehicle movements.

Guiding principles

The document proposed a set of principles to guide any redesign.

Next steps

The document didn’t actually propose any redesigns, instead it focussed on identifying the issues and proposing a framework for further analysis. The Cremorne Place Implementation Plan (CPIP) is still ongoing, and we look forward to the next set of documents for community consultation.
