Have your say on a proposed speed limit change along Harmony Way
Published on 31 March 2025
Mount Alexander Shire Council is inviting residents to have their say on a proposed speed limit reduction along a section of Harmony Way in Harcourt.
The proposal aims to improve road safety and includes:
- an extension of the 60km speed zone north of Twyford Street (500m)
- an 80km transitory zone to the cemetery (1.1km)
- 100km to the Calder Freeway (3.5km).
These changes will increase travel time by 22 seconds along this stretch.
“Our community’s safety is a top priority for us at Council,” said Cr Tony Cordy.
“We worked with technical experts from Transport Victoria to come up with the proposed change, which fits within the Speed Zoning Guidelines.”
“We’re committed to improving road safety across our shire, and a new speed limit along a section of Harmony Way would be a positive step in this direction.”
The proposed speed limit reduction follows a petition from a number of Harcourt community members as well as general community feedback.
“I’m pleased that Council is responding to community concerns about the speed limit along Harmony Way,” said Cr Cordy.
“I think the proposed changes will be well-received by our community.”
