  • 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. Halls Creek The continued prosperity of regional Western Australia, primarily driven by the resources sector, has highlighted that the existing Wickham roads do not support the current Dampier Port Hedland or future resources, Karratha tourism and economic growth, both in terms Exmouth of road safety and Tom Price handling increased Great Northern Highway - Coral Bay traffic volumes.

  • 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.

  • Western Australia – Permits and Permissions Required to Access Indigenous and Other Lands, Including National Parks
    Western Australia – Permits and permissions required to access indigenous and other lands, including national parks General: Quite a number of transit permits for aboriginal lands in WA are able to be issued by the Aboriginal Lands Trust of WA. (N.B.: The Aboriginal Lands Trust has no involvement whatever in the issuing of permits for the Canning Stock Route – for Canning information and Permits see below under the heading of Canning Stock Route). The Trust is a part of the Department of Indigenous Affairs. Applications can be made on-line at www.dia.wa.gov.au and simply follow the prompts. The web site contains a lot of excellent information including maps showing the specific areas and tracks where Permits are required and whether the Trust or a Land Council issues them. The conditions under which permits can be gained via an automated on-line process are also explained. Once you log on to the web site, click on the “Entering Aboriginal Land” button on the left side of the Home Page and read all of the information under the nominated four (4) headings BEFORE applying on-line. The maps showing the tracks and whether DIA or a Land Council, etc., issues them can be found under the “Travel Information” heading. About half way down that page is a map of WA showing the Land Council areas; simply click on the area you want to visit. The Trust can be contacted at: The Permits Officer, Aboriginal Lands Trust, PO Box 7770, Cloisters Square, Perth, WA 6850. Telephone (08) 9235 8000 or Fax (08) 9235 8088.
