THE Dunkeld Progress Association (DPA) met with VicRoads last Wednesday as part of their appeal to reduce the speed limit of Parker St, the main road through the township, from 50 kilometres per hour to 40km/h.

The DPA made an application to VicRoads earlier this year, however after a VicRoads inspection on June 3, the application was turned down on the basis that the zone that extends between Dunlop St and Templeton St along Parker St was too short to be made into a 40km zone.
