  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Reid Highway Dual Carriageway Construction Update
    APRIL 2020 Reid Highway Dual Carriageway Altone Road to West Swan Road Construction update The Reid Highway Dual Carriageway has entered the final stages of construction with the new Bennett Brook and Arthur Street bridge surfaces nearly ready for asphalt to be laid. In February and March, crews worked overnight to install bridge beams. The Arthur Street bridge deck has been poured and is now having kerbing and barriers installed. The deck of the Bennett Brook Bridge will be poured at the end of this month. The Arthur Street bridge will have concrete screens installed on top of the bridge structure to ensure drivers and pedestrians can’t see into neighbouring houses or back yards. The screens will be painted various shades of grey to provide a neutral colour background in the surrounding residential landscape. Lifting the bridge beams into place at Bennett Brook Pouring concrete for the deck of the Arthur Street bridge Safe and attractive travel options for pedestrian and cyclists Reid Highway is part of a popular travel route for cyclists visiting the Swan Valley. The Swan Valley is cycle friendly with many local businesses set up to make cycling easy. A new four metre-wide Principal Shared Path (PSP), to be constructed as part of the Reid Highway Dual Carriageway project, will provide cyclists with a smooth and safe ride during which they will be totally separated from road traffic. The new PSP runs along the southern side of Reid Highway between Altone Road and West Swan Road. The path links in with the recently completed NorthLink WA shared path and ties into the existing Swan Valley Heritage Cycle Trail which runs along West Swan Road.
