Kerb Extension Planned for Corner of Alexandra/Albert Streets
We are pleased to report that Council has allocated funding to construct a kerb extension on the south-eastern corner of the intersection of Albert and Alexandra Streets. The works are proposed to mirror the kerb extension on the opposite south-western corner of the intersection and will improve pedestrian accessibility and safety.

Station Masters Residence
The Berry community overwhelmingly supported the Conservation Committee’s Petition to help save the SMR from demolition with 3,665 signatures and letters from community groups. Local member Gareth Ward enthusiastically backs the call to preserve the SMR and will personally hand the petition to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. There are viable options for the use of the Residence if RailCorp wish to keep the property and restore it. Alternatively there are offers to buy the property, restore it and use it.
