Tactile paving will be added to footpaths on Thornville Avenue, Thornville Drive, Foxfield Saint John and Greendale Road. It will also be added at the new zebra crossings on Greendale Avenue and Greendale Road. This paving prevents trips and slips and is more user-friendly for people with mobility and visual impairment needs. They are depicted as orange hatching on the footpath in the design drawings.

Two new zebra crossings will be installed - one on Greendale Road and another on Greendale Avenue. These are to facilitate safe crossing of school children and the wider community.
