A new Emu Crossing is proposed on Regent Street adjacent to Marryatville Primary School and Property 63 to improve safety for school children.
The Regent Street emu crossing is a part-time road crossing that will operate when children are arriving and leaving the Marryatville Primary School grounds.
Emu crossings feature white road markings and orange ‘CHILDREN CROSSING’ flags displayed on red and white posts.
The project will include:
Example of an emu crossing:

To facilitate the construction of the emu crossing, four on-street car parking bays will be permanently removed.
In addition, six on-street parking spaces will be restricted on school days between 8:00 am – 9:00 am and 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm to maintain clear pedestrian sightlines at the crossing.
Implementing an emu crossing at this location will improve safety for children attending Marryatville Primary School and their families.
Marryatville Primary School and members of the community approached the Council in mid-2023 regarding school safety concerns on Regent Street.
The Council subsequently undertook an investigation and safety review, and following consultation with the school, the current Emu Crossing design is now being proposed.
The Council is also in partnership with the Department for Infrastructure and Transport's Way2Go program to facilitate these improvements.
