What is happening?

Frankston City Council is undertaking a Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study in the Sandhurst LATM Precinct to improve traffic management and road safety within the area. This will build on information we have already collected during our recent Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan engagement to focus on the Sandhurst LATM area.

What is a Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) Study?

An LATM study is a process of identifying existing traffic and road safety issues, and developing recommendations to improve the safety, amenity and access on local roads within the study area. Common issues which are addressed through an LATM study include ‘rat running’, speeding, as well as reducing barriers to increased walking and cycling participation.

Sandhurst LATM Precinct

The Sandhurst LATM Precinct study area is bound by Thompsons Road to the north, McCormicks Road to the west, Wedge Road to the south, and Western Port Highway to the east. Our map below shows the study area in orange.

The LATM Process

The first step in the LATM process is the identification of traffic, safety, and access issues. This will be undertaken through the collection and analysis of data, together with information received from the community through a range of community engagement activities.

Following the identification of issues, a draft traffic management plan will be developed. Further community consultation will occur before the plan is finalised.

Community Participation

Community participation is essential in identifying existing traffic issues in your local area, and there are multiple ways to contribute to outcomes of this study.

All community members who have ideas, thoughts or concerns relating to traffic, road safety, pedestrian or cyclist issues, are strongly encouraged to get involved in one of the following ways:

  • Share your feedback

    Provide your feedback and input via our Mapping Activity on this page below by 11.59pm 19 November 2025

  • Complete the questionnaire

    An online questionnaire is built into the Mapping Activity below. Alternatively, residents from within the study boundaries were mailed a paper copy of the questionnaire on 16 October 2025 (or download it below).

    The paper questionnaire can be completed and returned to Council’s Engineering Services Department using the supplied ‘Reply Paid’ envelope or scanning and emailing to EngServices@frankston.vic.gov.au

  • Resident Traffic Committee
