The Proposal is to realign and extend Armadale Road from Solomon Road to North Lake Road; duplicate and upgrade intersections along Armadale Road between Solomon Road and Ghostgum Avenue; construct a southbound collector distributor road along the Kwinana Freeway between Berrigan Drive and Armadale Road; and construct a new bridge and on/off ramps over Kwinana Freeway. Main Roads are pursuing two design options for the intersections at Verde Drive/Tapper Road and Solomon Road, as outlined below. Option A Option A comprises a four-lane dual carriageway passing over roundabouts at the intersections of Armadale Road and: • Verde Drive/Tapper Road • Solomon Road. Option B Option B comprises a four-lane dual carriageway passing over a roundabout at the intersection of Armadale Road and Tapper Road/Verde Drive, and passing under a roundabout at the intersection of Armadale Road/Solomon Road. The trench structure will be above the groundwater table and not require permanent groundwater drainage or dewatering. Table ES1 provides a summary of the Proposal. Table ES2 provides a description of the location and proposed extent of physical and operational elements of the existing project and the Proposal. Table ES3 provides a summary of potential impacts, proposed mitigation and outcomes for the Proposal.

  • The Complete Process for Building and Upgrading Roads in Western Australia And; Roads in the Southern River Electorate
    Arteries of Life: The Complete Process for Building and Upgrading Roads in Western Australia and; Roads in the Southern River Electorate By Gary Payne Prepared for Peter Abetz Executive Summary The purpose of this report was to examine the process for building and upgrading roads in Metropolitan Western Australia, and to review previous road projects in the Southern River Electorate on certain roads. Research for this report included a review of current literature from a number of sources, as well as two interviews of key persons in the road building industry and a number of email inquiries to road building authorities. In Part A, all of these findings have been organised into a road building process. The initial idea for a road project can come from a great many sources, but these are often confined to government and intergovernmental bodies. A road is legally planned by an amendment of the Metropolitan Regional Planning scheme, and Local Planning Schemes. The process for amending the schemes differ with the size of a road project. But a project needs to be funded if it is to become reality. There are processes in place to ensure that money is redistributed from those people who use the system, to those that maintain it. There are a number of strategies to deliver a project, but most use the private sector in some way. To fairly include and harness these contractors, a tendering process has been set up by Main Roads and Local Government. The design of a project is massively important to eventually assess its success.

  • P9196c-9205A Mr David Templeman; Mr Murray Cowper; Mr Joe Francis; Ms Janine Freeman
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 9 November 2011] p9196c-9205a Mr David Templeman; Mr Murray Cowper; Mr Joe Francis; Ms Janine Freeman WATER SERVICES BILL 2011 WATER SERVICES LEGISLATION AMENDMENT AND REPEAL BILL 2011 Second Reading — Cognate Debate Resumed from 8 November. MR D.A. TEMPLEMAN (Mandurah) [12.49 pm]: I begin by highlighting that obviously we are dealing with two bills cognately, the Water Services Bill 2011 and the Water Services Legislation Amendment and Repeal Bill 2011. I want to make some general comments about some of the debate that has already occurred with regard to the two bills that are before the house, and also make some general comments about the importance of water provision into the future for Western Australia. One of the sad things, when water has been debated in this place over recent years, is, of course, the polarisation that we have seen in some respects, with people saying, “We have got a better plan than you have”, or, “We have done better on water than you have.” I think it is important to acknowledge that the Western Australian community has, in my view, for a very long time recognised the importance of a secure water future for Western Australia. I think we only need to look back to 30 or 40 years ago and to the whole debate about how we could continue to provide good quality water for potable reasons, but also quality water for infrastructure, for mining, for industry, for agriculture and for horticulture. I can remember vividly as a kid the interesting debates that were taking place in the late 1970s when it was genuinely debated and highlighted that one option for providing for the water future of Western Australia was to tow icebergs to Western Australia.
