  2. Council urgently request a briefing from VicRoads regarding the proposed nigh time truck bans on Rosanna Road and Greensborough Highway and proposed truck bans on other roads within Banyule.
  1. Council request VicRoads arrange for night time truck traffic counts and noise volume monitoring on the following roads before the proposed commencement of the truck ban on Rosanna Road/Greensborough Highway and during the ban.
