[On screen text - Road safety improvements by Transport Victoria have reshaped the holiday town of Kilcunda]

[On screen text - Lauren - Kilcunda resident]

Kilcunda has always been a quite a sleepy

town in the mornings with our four

children sometimes it might take us four

to 5 minutes to cross the road so the

lights have been a really big change for

us even just for safety 

[On screen text - Nic Kilcunda resident]

there's a lot of

young kids and a lot of young families

and it's a really active vibrant town

now the highway was quite a big uh

barrier in the past between the beach

and the town and it was just quite

dangerous really 

[On screen text - Paula, owner Kilcunda Pub]

it's definitely

benefited the community we have the

school bus stop just over here we have

the school kids getting off the school

bus at the end of the day which has been

a real concern for the community the

lights has definitely made it easier to

go to the park the beach the community

were made well aware about what the

plans were what the timelines were

everyone was engaged and consulted

absolutely is an improvement it's a lot

more thought out it's a lot more

understandable about what the car

parking is even things like street

lights and parking signs and those types

of things they just help Define the town

and the way that we can use the town

you're getting more people that are just

going to be at the beach they're coming

over and using the pub and using the

cafe we love it 

Nic - we love where we live and we love other people to be able to

enjoy 

Lauren - it it's upgraded the Sleepy Town

into a destination.
