    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.

How many people are expected Around 1,800 daily boardings are to use the underpass entry from expected at Noranda Station, so while we Davis Court? don’t have an exact figure of how many people will use the underpass, modelling for the underpass is based on a percentage of daily boardings. 3. Why do buses not enter the There are a number of challenges carpark and drop passengers associated with bringing the buses into off outside the platform at the car park, and the needs of all users, Noranda Station? It seems it is not just those travelling to/from the train the only station not to have the station, need to be considered. There are buses enter. Is this something timing and traffic impacts around bringing that can be considered? It is buses to the car park, however there may quite a long walk from the bus be opportunities through traffic modelling stops.

  • Northlink-Wa-Abbey-Street-Fact-Sheet
    MAIN ROADS WESTERN AUSTRALIA MAY 2016 NorthLink WA Fact Sheet ACCESS CHANGES TO ABBEY STREET The upgrade of Tonkin Highway as part of NorthLink WA requires Abbey Street to be made into a cul-de-sac at the intersection with Morley Drive. Planning since the 1980s indicates that this junction would be closed because of its close proximity to Tonkin Highway. When NorthLink WA is complete, the Tonkin Highway Interchange at Morley Drive will be a free-flowing roundabout at ground level, with a raised Tonkin Highway passing over the top. The new roundabout will be very close to Abbey parking area on the eastern side of Benefits Street and will have vehicles travelling Tonkin Highway within the road reserve Many road users are avoiding the at relatively high traffic speeds. If Abbey to access the school via the pedestrian currently congested Tonkin Highway Street was to stay open, it would result underpass. This car park will be by using local roads. Once complete, in: removed to construct the new highway NorthLink WA will discourage such and interchange with Morley Drive. • fewer gaps for existing traffic – no ‘rat running’ through local streets by traffic lights at the new interchange In addition to new parking in and attracting traffic onto a safe and efficient will mean more continuous traffic flow around the school grounds, the school highway that is purpose built to handle and leave fewer gaps for drivers to community requested that some high traffic volumes.
