Residents in Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay who hold concerns about hooning behaviour are invited to attend a Hooning Community Reference Group in Brimbank.
Established by the state government, the group aims to identify new ideas to help reduce hooning behaviour.
The session will allow community members from a range of other municipalities, including Melton and Brimbank to discuss their worries with experts in road safety.
The panel of government, enforcement and research bodies hopes to develop short, medium and long-term solutions to address reckless driving in local communities and help to improve safety.
A Department of Transport spokesperson said Victoria has some of the toughest anti-hoon legislation in the country.
“Reckless driving can have devastating consequences for communities,” the spokesperson said.
“Victoria is looking for ways to further reduce hoon behaviour to improve safety for everyone on our roads.
“As part of the panel’s work, we’re looking forward to hearing directly from local communities to better understand their concerns and identify possible ways to improve road safety.”
Community meetings will be held in four locations across Melbourne, and people are able to attend both in person or online.
Those living in the western region can attend the session at Brimbank council’s Sunshine offices on Wednesday July 20 from 6pm to 8pm.
