Emergency Services have identified a risk regarding street access to Howe Crescent, South Melbourne. The street ends opposite 49 Howe Crescent and is joined by the footpath that continues along Bridport Street. This has raised concerns about emergency services being able to quickly locate and access the properties near the corner of Ferrars Place and Bridport Street numbered 53, 52, 51, 50A, 50B.
Proposal:
In the interest of preventing renumbering of properties (given the limited numbers available) and to avoid inconvenience, Council proposes to retain the current addressing and install additional signage to assist with street location:
1. Signage installation at the end of Howe Crescent, South Melbourne “50 to 53 Howe Crescent, access via footpath”.
Location of issue on Howe Crescent, South Melbourne
2. Signage installation on footpath street parking signs facing Bridport Street – “50 to 53 Howe Crescent, access via footpath”
3. A plaque will be installed on the front fence of 50A, 50B, 51, 52, 53 Howe Crescent
3. A plaque will be installed on the front fence of 50A, 50B, 51, 52, 53 Howe Crescent
