The proposed action is located along Armadale Road between Tapper Road and Anstey Road, approximately 19.5 km south of the Perth Central Business District and approximately 8.6 km west of Armadale WA. The proposed action passes through industrial areas, rural subdivisions and recently developed residential subdivisions, and borders various environmentally sensitive reserves. Urban development is currently occurring adjacent to Armadale Road in Banjup, Piara Waters and Forrestdale. 1.6 What is the size of the development footprint or work area? 63.9 ha 1.7 Is the proposed action a street address or lot? Street Address Armadale Road Forrestdale WA 6112 Australia 1.8 Primary Jurisdiction. Submission #2325 - Armadale Road Duplication - Tapper to Anstey Road Western Australia 1.9 Has the person proposing to take the action received any Australian Government grant funding to undertake this project? No 1.10 Is the proposed action subject to local government planning approval? No 1.11 Provide an estimated start and estimated end date for the proposed action. Start date 09/2017 End date 11/2019 1.12 Provide details of the context, planning framework and State and/or Local government requirements. Armadale Road requires upgrading to increase traffic capacity to meet the demand of past and future local development. Armadale Road is a strategic freight route connecting the South West and the South East corridors of the Perth metropolitan area. The road serves as one of the main east-west links within the Perth metropolitan transport network connecting the Armadale sub-regional centre and Albany Highway west to the Kwinana Freeway, forming part of the route to the Fremantle Port. Cockburn Central is located to the west of the proposed action and is a new town centre with a vibrant mix of residential, retail and commercial properties. Significant developments have taken place over the last ten years, including the construction and opening of Cockburn Gateway shopping centre, eight new residential buildings providing 466 dwellings, and a doubling of carpark bays in the area. The proposed action is predominantly zoned as Primary Regional Road under the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS). Areas that are not zoned Primary Regional Road will require a Development Application prior to construction and a subsequent amendment to the MRS. The Development Application is currently being pursued by Main Roads. There is current and future land planning for the Cockburn area and further south, which will increase commercial and recreational activity around the area. These developments include: • Cockburn Central Transit Oriented Development adjacent to Cockburn Train Station currently under development • Jandakot Industrial Area commercial development on the east side of Kwinana Freeway Submission #2325 - Armadale Road Duplication - Tapper to Anstey Road • Expansion of Cockburn Gateway shopping centre from 33,000 m2 to 55,000 m2 occurred in 2014 and further expansion to 100,000 m2 of floor space with a doubling of current employment from 1,500 to 3,000 by 2018-19 As a result, increasing volumes of traffic are being experienced along Armadale Road, along with associated congestion, delays and safety issues. Current traffic volumes are such that demand is not being met and road users are being delayed. Service is inadequate with bottlenecks being experienced, leading to queues. Prior to 2003, Armadale Road was a single carriageway from Lake Road, east of the present Tonkin Highway, to Solomon Road near the Kwinana Freeway. During the construction of the Tonkin Highway in 2003 to 2005, the section of Armadale Road between Lake Road and Anstey Road was upgraded to a dual-carriageway as part of the works. This was done in recognition of the expected growth of traffic that would result from the construction of the Tonkin Highway. This leaves the 6.96 km Anstey Road / Tapper Road section of Armadale Road as the only single carriageway section in the 15.9 km between the Kwinana Freeway and Armadale. Road users are currently unable to access industrial and residential developments in a timely and safe manner due to this remaining section of single carriageway. 1.13 Describe any public consultation that has been, is being or will be undertaken, including with Indigenous stakeholders. Main Roads has consulted with the following stakeholders regarding the proposed action: • Department of Environment and Energy • Department of Planning • Department of Housing • Department of Lands • Midland Brick Company Pty Ltd • City of Armadale • City of Cockburn • Western Power • Water Corporation Submission #2325 - Armadale Road Duplication - Tapper to Anstey Road • ATCO Gas • Telstra • Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP) • Optus • Indigenous people • Whadjuk WC2011/009 Native Title Claim • Private land holders. Consultation has been in the form of briefings to provide an overview of the proposed action; phone conversations; consultation to obtain land holder consent to clear native vegetation; discuss funding contributions available for the proposed action; discuss drainage; discuss timing of development activities; consultation regarding local road access options. Main Roads has provided briefings to Water Corp, ATCO Gas, Telstra, DBNGP regarding the concept design and the proposed treatments at several intersections. The relocation of transmission lines and intersection design at Armadale/Nicholson Road intersection has been specifically discussed with Department of Planning. Private land holders have been contacted regarding Project impact. Some land holders have been consulted with regards to noise monitoring and timing of land acquisition. Main Roads has consulted with Whadjuk WC2011/009 Native Title Claim group and a heritage survey has been undertaken to determine impact of the proposed action on Aboriginal heritage sites of significance. Main Roads has submitted a Section 18 application to the Department of Aboriginal Affairs for potential impact to two heritage sites. 1.14 Describe any environmental impact assessments that have been or will be carried out under Commonwealth, State or Territory legislation including

  • 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.
