  • 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.

  • Department of Environmental Protection
    11 November 2016 Media Statement Keep the roads clean this summer Keep Australia Beautiful WA and Main Roads WA are helping motorists to be responsible this holiday season and keep their rubbish until they can dispose of it properly. The ‘WA naturally thanks you’ program is providing free car litter bags at selected roadhouses on Forrest Highway, Great Eastern Highway and Brand Highway. Motorists are being asked to use the car litter bags to keep their rubbish until they can put it in a bin. According to the 2015-16 National Litter Index, 54 per cent of the volume of litter along roadsides is made up of glass and plastic drink bottles, aluminium cans and take away containers such as plastic food containers and coffee cups. Keep Australia Beautiful Council WA Chairman Michael Aspinall said recent audits conducted by KAB WA showed food and beverage containers by volume of litter on some roadsides were as high as 75 per cent. ‘These are all items thrown from car windows – it’s unnecessary and makes our roadsides look awful,” he said. “There is also a significant impact on WA’s wildlife, which is why the program emblem is a Western Australian woylie. Keep Australia Beautiful WA hopes that travellers will think twice about carelessly discarding their unwanted items and put them in one of the many roadside bins instead.” Main Roads Road Network manager for the Central and Northern Regions, Jeff Anderson, said Main Roads spends up to $6 million a year on removing over 8000 tonnes of roadside litter and rubbish.

  • 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.
