Murraylands council watch: December 2025
Here’s what the Murray Bridge, Mid Murray and Coorong councils have been up to this month.
Monteith residents want lower speed limits
The speed limits on two roads at Monteith need to be lowered to keep people safe, local residents say.
Eighteen residents presented a petition to the Murray Bridge council at its December meeting, arguing for speed limits 20 kilometres per hour lower on both McCulloch Road and Bells Road.
That would bring the limit down to 80, then 60, on McCulloch Road, which comes off the highway; and 60 on Bells Road, down the bottom.
Local traffic, population and business activity had all increased, the petitioners said – it was time to take steps to prevent future accidents.
Staff will bring a proposal to a future council meeting.
