Speed Humps coming to Reynell and Downer Streets

13 October 2025

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback with us earlier in 2025 on the proposed installation of speed humps or speed cushions in Reynell Street and Downer Street, Kilkenny.

Following review of feedback and traffic data, speed humps will be installed on both Reynell and Downer Streets to reduce speeds and improve safety.

  • A raised intersection will be built at Wilpena and Reynell Streets following a stormwater analysis.
  • On Aroona Road, traffic calming cushions will be used instead of a raised intersection to protect stormwater flow.
  • Alton Reserve will receive a raised threshold treatment.

A construction date has not yet been confirmed, but installation of the traffic calming measures and intersection treatments is planned for the 2025/26 financial year. Impacted residents will receive further notification from the appointed contractor, closer to the time.

A full engagement report and responses to community questions is available on the Project Page.
