[email protected] BACKGROUND The City of Stirling is the largest Local Authority Council in Western Australia by population. It covers an area of approximately 100 km² in metropolitan Perth and lies about 8 Kilometres North of the Perth CBD. Stirling has key industrial areas at Balcatta, Herdsman and Osborne Park with 11,500 small businesses located within the City, representing 11% of the State's small business, a significant concentration of employment and employers. All these areas are well serviced by major arterial roads with links to the Mitchell Freeway providing easy access to the Perth CBD, Perth Airport and Fremantle as well as the main highways leading north, south and east of the State. The northern suburban rail service from Perth, which runs up the centre of the freeway, passes through the City with stations at Glendalough — servicing Osborne Park and Scarborough Beach; Stirling — servicing the strategic regional centre and complemented by links to an extensive suburban bus network. Warwick station is another well patronised rail inter-change on the northern boarder of the City's boundary. The City is well serviced by regional shopping centres at Karrinyup and Mirrabooka. These centres serve both the local and wider community in the Perth northern corridor. The City also boasts a wide choice of residential areas, from the coastal suburbs of Waterman’s Bay, North Beach, Trigg and Scarborough through to the heritage areas of Mt.

  • 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.
