  • Vehicle Access Plans
    CITY OF BELMONT Vehicle Access Plans Date of Publication 17/12/2014 Under the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) Metropolitan Region Scheme and the City of Belmont’s Local Planning Scheme main arterial roads have been classified as either ‘Primary Regional Roads’ and ‘Other Regional Roads’. ‘Primary Regional Road’ (red road) is defined as a top level network. These types of roads carry high traffic volumes over long distances to, from, and across the urban and regional areas. Examples of this road type are Great Eastern Highway, Leach Highway and Tonkin Highway. Main Roads Western Australia is the determining authority on matters involving primary regional roads and provides feedback to Council on matters involving lots abutting the road reserve. ‘Other Regional Road’ (blue road) carries traffic between different industrial, commercial, and residential areas and link these cells to the primary network. Examples of this road type are Belgravia Street, Fairbrother Street, Abernethy Road, Orrong Road. The Department for Planning and Infrastructure is the determining authority on matters involving primary regional roads and provide feedback to Council on matters involving lots abutting the road reserve. What is a Vehicle Access Plan? A vehicle access plan provides an alternative access to properties that abut a primary or regional road reserve to allow for the safe and permeable movement of traffic and pedestrians. When is a vehicle access plan required? Where residential land abuts a regional road reserve (ie., Abernethy Road, Orrong Road etc), access to that regional road is only permitted for a single house. In order to achieve redevelopment of the residential properties abutting a regional road, the adoption of a vehicle access plan is required by the local government or by the WAPC.

  • Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Tuesday, 10 May 2016] P2484c-2485A Hon Helen Morton
    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Tuesday, 10 May 2016] p2484c-2485a Hon Helen Morton GATEWAY WA PROJECT Statement HON HELEN MORTON (East Metropolitan) [9.47 pm]: I wanted to congratulate everybody involved in the very successful completion of the Perth Airport and freight access project. The project has delivered a really safe and more efficient transport network around Perth Airport and the freight and industrial areas of Kewdale and Forrestfield. The project began in 2013 and the full scope of the works was completed by the end of the first quarter of 2016. It was opened on 12 April 2016 by the Prime Minister, the state transport minister, Hon Dean Nalder, and the federal transport minister, Hon Darren Chester; many other members of Parliament were there to celebrate the very successful project. It was completed ahead of the planned consolidation of the domestic and international Perth Airport terminals, which was an important milestone for that project. The project is valued at around about $1 billion and is the largest road project undertaken to date in Perth. The federal government contributed $676 million and the state government $310 million. The Gateway WA project, as it is referred to, is a stunning success in every respect. I use that road nearly every day and marvel at how easy and safe it is, and at the pure enjoyment of travelling from Kalamunda to the city now that that project has been completed. It will be enjoyed by thousands of people for decades to come. This project is a fantastic asset for Western Australia and for all Western Australians.

  • Great Eastern Highway Bypass Interchanges Project Frequently
    JUNE 2021 Great Eastern Highway Bypass Interchanges Project Frequently Asked Questions About the project Why is this project needed? The intersections of Great Eastern Highway Bypass (GEHB) with Roe Highway, Stirling Crescent and Abernethy Road have become increasingly congested with road users experiencing significant wait times during peak periods. This increased congestion is due to the presence of heavy vehicles moving in a north-south direction between the Forrestfield/High Wycombe and Hazelmere industrial areas, and Perth hills residents and heavy vehicles seeking to avoid heavy traffic through Midland and Guildford. In addition to traffic congestion issues, future expansion of the southern part of Midland around the former railway workshops precinct is constrained by the lack of direct access to and from the south. What does the project include? Major interchanges at: o GEHB and Roe Highway o GEHB and Abernethy Road An extension of Lloyd Street from its current end point to the GEHB, including a new bridge over the Helena River Upgrades to the GEHB, including removal of the existing intersection at Stirling Crescent Upgrades to parts of Abernethy Road. There will be a new heavy vehicle standard (RAV 7) connection at Adelaide Street Upgrade of Roe Highway between Talbot Road and Clayton Street, including a bridge duplication over Helena River Completion of the 30km Principal Shared Path network on Roe Highway between Great Eastern Highway and Kwinana Freeway Landscaping. How is the project funded? The project is jointly funded by the Australian and State Governments. The current project budget is $380million. Who is delivering the project? The Greater Connect Alliance, comprising Laing O’Rourke, AECOM and Arcadis, in partnership with Main Roads, will develop, design and construct the project following contract award in early 2021.
