  • BORR Southern Section EPA Updated Referral Spprtng Doc Rev2
    Bunbury Outer Ring Road Southern Section Updated Environmental Referral Supporting Document and Additional Information BORR-02-RP-EN-0014 Rev 2 October 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bunbury Outer Ring Road (BORR) is a planned Controlled Access Highway linking the Forrest Highway and Bussell Highway. BORR will be a high standard route for access to the Bunbury Port and facilitate proposed development to the east of the City of Bunbury. BORR provides an effective bypass of Bunbury for inter-regional traffic. The BORR Project comprises three sections: • ‘BORR Northern Section’ – Forrest Highway to Boyanup-Picton Road. • ‘BORR Central Section’ – Boyanup-Picton Road to South Western Highway, an existing four kilometre (km) section which was completed in May 2013, along with a three km extension of Willinge Drive southwards to South Western Highway. • ‘BORR Southern Section’ – South Western Highway (near Bunbury Airport) to Bussell Highway. The Commissioner of Main Roads Western Australia (Main Roads) is proposing to construct and operate the southern section of the BORR Project. Main Roads is referring the BORR Southern Section (the Proposal) to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) for a decision on assessment under Section 38 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act). The purpose of this document is to provide information to support the decision on assessment of the Proposal. The Proposal includes the construction and operation of 10.5 km of freeway standard, dual carriageway southwest of South Western Highway (south of Bunbury Airport) to Bussell Highway and a 3 km regional distributor from Bussell Highway at Centenary Road southeast to a grade separated interchange at the western end of Lilydale Road.

  • Department of Environmental Protection
    11 November 2016 Media Statement Keep the roads clean this summer Keep Australia Beautiful WA and Main Roads WA are helping motorists to be responsible this holiday season and keep their rubbish until they can dispose of it properly. The ‘WA naturally thanks you’ program is providing free car litter bags at selected roadhouses on Forrest Highway, Great Eastern Highway and Brand Highway. Motorists are being asked to use the car litter bags to keep their rubbish until they can put it in a bin. According to the 2015-16 National Litter Index, 54 per cent of the volume of litter along roadsides is made up of glass and plastic drink bottles, aluminium cans and take away containers such as plastic food containers and coffee cups. Keep Australia Beautiful Council WA Chairman Michael Aspinall said recent audits conducted by KAB WA showed food and beverage containers by volume of litter on some roadsides were as high as 75 per cent. ‘These are all items thrown from car windows – it’s unnecessary and makes our roadsides look awful,” he said. “There is also a significant impact on WA’s wildlife, which is why the program emblem is a Western Australian woylie. Keep Australia Beautiful WA hopes that travellers will think twice about carelessly discarding their unwanted items and put them in one of the many roadside bins instead.” Main Roads Road Network manager for the Central and Northern Regions, Jeff Anderson, said Main Roads spends up to $6 million a year on removing over 8000 tonnes of roadside litter and rubbish.

  • Please Read Before Viewing
    Please Read Before Viewing The following document is the full draft version of the Dongara-Geraldton-Northampton Corridor Alignment Selection Report, written for the purpose of identifying a preferred investigation corridor for further planning activities, including community consultation. The report has not been altered in any way since its provision to the Minister for Transport in September 2020, and no sections of it have been omitted in this presentation. Alignment Selection work is normally assessed through desktop assessments, which provide a reasonable understanding of the constraints, issues and opportunities. The desktop work is used to progress stakeholder discussions to test the validity of shortlisted options, leading to landholder and community input. This community and landholder input is a critical step in the process to fill a number of gaps with regard to constraints/issues and assessment of the options. Only after consultation has been incorporated into the planning process can alignment selection be finalised, allowing for more detailed planning (including site investigations). The report was written on the information available at the time of writing. Main Roads’ current engagement activities have already revealed a number of further constraints and opportunities that require further investigation, which may influence the alignment of the final recommended corridor.
