Having moved to the area five years ago this intersection has continually worried us as an accident waiting to happen.

We've personally seen two crashes and multiple more near misses. It's incredible to us that a place with over 100 children at any one time can be placed so close to an incredibly dangerous high speed area with zero protection.

A tragedy waiting to happen and those who don't act will be to blame when the inevitable happens.

The safety of my daughter is at risk without these safety barriers

I want to keep all the kids and workers at the childcare safe with the rise in car accidents at this corner

This is definitely needed

I'm signing because my 6 year old son witnessed one of the most recent crashes. We were one car behind it could have been us.

This needs to be fixed otherwise there could be a incident one day where a vehicle enters into the childcare centre and causes serious injury or death

Population has increased significantly right now across the Bellarine but our roads are not keeping up. So many dangerous intersections and they get reported constantly but nothing happens! Keep our children safe.

Children must be protected and be the highest priority for any government.

There are and have been many incident involving cars ploughing into child care centres built on corners of intersections. This particular intersection sees multiple incidents each year and it's only a matter of time before there is one involving a car crashing into this child care centre. Does someone have to die before something is done?

Chris Middleton (Geelong, 2025-06-01)

I'm signing because the intersection is extremely dangerous and there has been multiple crashes right next to the daycare fence. There is currently nothing that will stop a car crashing through the daycare fence

My child attends this lovely centre and it’s always a worry for me as a parent with the current road situation.

It’s plainly unsafe and these are our children! Protect them!

A close friend, almost a member of my family, works in childcare in that area, and I would hate to see anything happen to her or the young ones in her care. If the government can spend billions of dollars of Victorian taxpayers money on tunnels and bridges in the metropolitan area, they can spend a small amount on something as important as this outside of Melbourne. We are part of the state Jacinta

A simple barrier to protect innocent children

Zara Leslie (Curlewis, 2025-06-01)

Our son attends this childcare. The vehicle highway speed is high at 80kmh past the side of the childcare building and surrounding outside play yard where kids or carers could easily be killed if a car or cars became out of control. Does it require a death or deaths to put safety measures in place?

Brad meadows (Curlewis, 2025-06-01)

The area where the childcare is located is very vulnerable to potential accidents. Putting more protection in place such as bollards to protect our children is a must.

Isla Foy (Leopold, 2025-06-01)

We live in Darrambal Crescent, Leopold and agree that something needs to be done to protect the children and staff

This is an accident waiting to happen

James Markham (Moolap, 2025-06-02)

Little lives matter!! This is a notoriously dangerous stretch of road instead of waiting for another accident to happen and someone getting hurt or worse lets be proactive and implement something to prevent it & safe guard our children & amazing staff @ kidscape!

A few steel poles is a cheep price for kids'safety. Why are we even having to petition for this?

Damien Wilson (Armstrong Creek, 2025-06-03)

The installation of bollards is not only a practical risk mitigation strategy but a necessary investment in the protection and well-being of the children entrusted to the daycare’s care.

Harrison Field (Geelong, 2025-06-03)

This needs to be done children come first

Just get it done!

Dan Tame (Fyansford, 2025-06-03)

I have been concerned since the day this building was erected -that coming down the hill there could be a disaster!
I now have a grandchild attending this facility which makes me even more concerned with the amount of traffic and erratic drivers thrown into the mix!
If the council has approved the business it should have foreseen the needs for safety barriers and implemented them . It is too late if there is a problem!
Proper prior planning is paramount! Whether it is council or Vic roads is up to them but it needs to be fixed immediately!
What about our local MP!!

Jan Sloan (Geelong, 2025-06-03)

I drive passed often and have always thought how catastrophic this could end up. There is multiple local bollard company’s that would make this much safer, silly idea for it not to be done, don’t leave it until it’s too late

Cody van de Laar (Portarlington, 2025-06-03)

The area is very busy and has had several bad accidents recently. The traffic volume is very high and lots of young children being dropped off each day. The traffic along Portarlington Rd is very heavy and travel at high speed.

I’m signing because my child attends this daycare and it’s for her safety this needs to happen!

I have a child at the day care and it just makes sense being on corner of hyw and all the traffic being detoured down the road.

Nick Patone (Leopold, 2025-06-03)

My grandson attends that childcare centre and naturally I am concerned about, not just his safety, but also the safety of all who attend that facility. To anyone who is responsible for organising the placement of suitable barriers: 'Can you imagine how sick you would feel if a car were to run off the highway and into the play area of that facility it just doesn't bear thinking about, just for the sake of a few $'s. Get it done, please.

Eric Leslie (Portstewart, 2025-06-03)

I was shocked when this was built that no one thought of protecting children from the highway. I never considered sending my two children here for safety concerns. Everytime I drive past I am shocked by the council permitting this with no protection.

The council need to do something before someone is killed or badly hurt

This is critical for safety of young children!

Protect the children and staff re a busy intersection at Kidscape. Shame the local council, vicroads, before it's too late!
