Federation Square, Bourke Street to get temporary bollards to prevent terror attacks

FEDERATION Square and Bourke Street are among many places in Melbourne’s CBD that will get temporary bollards to prevent terror attacks.

Premier Daniel Andrews announced this morning that concrete structures would be placed at the sites from as early as today.

It comes after the London and Manchester terror attacks in recent weeks and the Bourke Street tragedy, where a driver killed pedestrians in Melbourne’s CBD.

A siren system was also revealed in that report as part of a $10 million safety upgrade.
