Council proposed introducing one-way traffic flow for three streets in Newington and formally consulted with the residents on those streets between September and October 2025. Council received 38 responses, with the majority objecting to the proposal (see the table below for details). Accordingly, Council will not proceed with the installation of one-way restrictions in these streets.
| | Support | Retain existing two-way |
| Nurmi Ave | 39% | 61% |
| Pearce Ave | 37% | 63% |
| Heidelberg Ave | 45% | 55% |
Council is continuing to monitor recent changes that we have made to other traffic and parking arrangements in Newington, while investigating further options to address event-related parking issues.
