Current children's crossing on Majara Street

Project summary

We upgraded the children’s crossing on Majara Street to a new ‘wombat’ raised pedestrian crossing and the refuge island crossing on the Kings Highway to a children’s crossing. These crossings have high levels of pedestrian activity, particularly during school arrival and departure. The upgrades will improve safety for students, families and other pedestrians.

Majara Street Wombat Crossing

We have upgraded the existing children’s crossing on Majara Street, adjacent to Bungendore Primary School, to a raised pedestrian crossing (Wombat Crossing). Works involved:

  • Demolition works and construction of a new concrete hump at the existing children crossing location
  • Installing two light columns to illuminate the crossing at night
  • Linemarking and signage.

Kings Highway Children's Crossing

We have upgraded the existing refuge island crossing on Kings Highway, adjacent to Bungendore Public School, to a children’s crossing. Works involve:

  • Minor demolition and concrete works on the existing refuge island
  • Replacement of the existing kerb ramps and connecting paths with wider kerb ramps and pathways to improve accessbility
  • Linemarking and signage.

Construction timing

The construction of the Majara Street wombat crossing was done during the spring school holidays, from Saturday 26 September to Sunday 11 October 2026, to minimise disruption to school operations and the wider community.

The Majara Street Wombat Crossing will be constructed in two halves to allow for one lane of traffic to always remain open. This will allow buses and vehicles to continue using Majara St with minimal disruption.

Contractors upgraded the refuge island crossing to a children's crossing on Kings Highway in Bungendore between Monday 12 October and Friday 16 October 2026. We had a delay receiving the Road Occupancy Licence for the Kings Highway works which is why the works were not completed during the school holidays.
