Federal Priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the Move
Federal priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the move. Federal priorities for Western Australia Western Australia’s rapid population growth coupled with its strongly performing economy is creating significant challenges and pressures for the State and its people. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the State’s road and public transport networks. Kununurra In March 2013 the RAC released its modelling of projected growth in motor vehicle registrations which revealed that an additional one million motorised vehicles could be on Western Australia’s roads by the end of this decade. This growth, combined with significant developments in Derby and around the Perth CBD, is placing increasing strain on an already Great Northern Hwy Broome Fitzroy Crossing over-stretched transport network.

It is a peri-urban, coastal and agricultural region of tremendous investment, business and economic potential. Located immediately north of metropolitan Perth, and home to 14,000 people, the NGSR is a region of high population growth, having experienced the highest 10 year population growth rate of all Wheatbelt sub-regions. This growth is predicted to continue into the future. The NGSR has also experienced a period of significant growth in jobs and industry. The region is set to capitalise on its existing natural assets which include an abundance of lime sand, silica and mineral sands, groundwater availability, and a coastline and national park that provide extensive tourism opportunities. To maximise growth opportunities and drive collective development solutions, the Wheatbelt Development Commission (WDC) led the formation of the Northern Growth Alliance (NGA), comprising representation from the shires of Chittering, Dandaragan and Gingin - the NGSR.

Mitchell Freeway Extension Burns Beach Road to Hester Avenue
MAIN ROADS WESTERN AUSTRALIA NEWSLETTER JANUARY 2016 Mitchell Freeway Extension Burns Beach Road to Hester Avenue BIG YEAR AHEAD The project is ramping up for a busy year ahead with works to extend Mitchell Freeway to Hester Avenue in Clarkson well underway. Project Manager Chris Raykos said the first six months of construction was hugely successful, setting the project on track for a mid-2017 completion. “We made significant progress in 2015, completing the detailed design and over 50% of the bulk earthworks.” Major works will continue in the coming months including earthworks, noise wall installation, fauna and pedestrian underpasses, Neerabup and Hester Avenue bridge construction and upgrade works along Hester Avenue and Wanneroo Road. Mitchell Freeway Extension is a $261.4 million project funded by the Aerial view of the future freeway alignment looking north from Burns Beach Road. Australian ($209.1 million) and West Australian ($52.3 million) Governments. DID YOU KNOW? The equivalent of 700 Olympic size swimming pools of material is expected to be moved by project completion. Major earthworks are expected to continue across the project area until mid-2016. PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS BENEFIT FROM EXTENSION Pedestrians and cyclists will benefit from more than 15 km of new shared paths that will be installed as part of the project. LOCAL CONNECTIONS Local access to the main path network along the freeway will be provided at the following locations: • Fisherton Circuit, Kinross (existing connection) • Gardiner Heights, Kinross • Clydebank Crescent, Kinross • Clarkson Station car park near Orenco Bend • Clarkson Station car park near Capitol Turn • Grandoak Drive, Clarkson • Liberty Drive, Clarkson • Redbank Rise, Clarkson • Linlee Lane, Clarkson A four metre wide shared pedestrian and cyclist path will be constructed on the western side of the freeway from Burns Beach Road to Hester Avenue.

Graham Farmer Freeway, a Saviour of Sorts
February 15, 2016 Graham Farmer Freeway, a saviour of sorts Over budget, underground, outdated 1960’s thinking to reduce traffic congestion, a threat to the environment and Northbridge’s character and community. These are just some of the numerous criticisms that were levelled at the more than $400 million Graham Farmer Freeway and the Northbridge Tunnel. Controversial from the start, the Graham Farmer Freeway is the focus of the latest What We Thought Would Kill Us case study, released today by the Committee for Perth. “I don’t think the people of Perth could imagine getting around the city and the metropolitan area without the Graham Farmer Freeway and the Northbridge Tunnel,” said Committee for Perth CEO, Marion Fulker. “Supporters argued it would provide a balanced transport future by promoting walking and urban renewal in Northbridge, help connect the city to the Swan River and most importantly, reduce congestion. “While the east-west Graham Farmer Freeway lets cars bypass the city centre, it hasn’t prevented an increase in congestion in and around the CBD and on the freeways. But this is hardly surprising, given the number of vehicles using the freeway has far outstripped predictions. “Prior to opening in April 2000, it was forecast that approximately 80,000 vehicles would use the bypass by 2021. In reality, the freeway carried between 60,000 and 80,000 vehicles a day, in its first few months. Today, approximately 115,000 vehicles use it every day. To cope with demand, in 2013, extra lanes were added in both directions on the Freeway and the Northbridge Tunnel, and a new on-ramp was added to the Mitchell Freeway northbound.

Analysis of a Ramp Metering Application for Mitchell Freeway
Faculty of Science and Engineering Department of Civil Engineering Analysis of a Ramp Metering Application for Mitchell Freeway Miaad Khayatian This thesis is presented for the Degree of Master of Philosophy (Civil Engineering) of Curtin University January 2013 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: …………………………………………. Date: ………………………... i ABSTRACT Freeways are known as a key constituent of road infrastructure particularly in populated areas. Increasing traffic demands have resulted in several issues with freeway traffic. Today, it is well known that proper management of freeway traffic is essential in order to provide a safe and reliable level of service and to optimise freeway productivity. For this purpose, a number of ramp management strategies have been developed. Nowadays, ramp metering is one of the most common methods used for managing freeway traffic. It consists of installation of traffic signals on freeway entry ramps and controlling freeway traffic by limiting the entrance rate of traffic. Regardless of the selected ramp metering technique, it is vital to design the ramp meters in an appropriate manner. Traffic simulation modelling is a useful tool which allows analysis of traffic networks at different levels of detail. In this study traffic micro-simulation modelling is used for analysis of the ramp metering in Mitchell Freeway which services the northern corridor of Perth, Western Australia. Compared to other traffic simulation techniques, microscopic simulation methods are regarded as the most competent approaches particularly in situations where detailed simulation of vehicle-road and vehicle-vehicle interactions is required.
