  • Great Eastern Highway Bypass Interchanges Project Frequently
    JUNE 2021 Great Eastern Highway Bypass Interchanges Project Frequently Asked Questions About the project Why is this project needed? The intersections of Great Eastern Highway Bypass (GEHB) with Roe Highway, Stirling Crescent and Abernethy Road have become increasingly congested with road users experiencing significant wait times during peak periods. This increased congestion is due to the presence of heavy vehicles moving in a north-south direction between the Forrestfield/High Wycombe and Hazelmere industrial areas, and Perth hills residents and heavy vehicles seeking to avoid heavy traffic through Midland and Guildford. In addition to traffic congestion issues, future expansion of the southern part of Midland around the former railway workshops precinct is constrained by the lack of direct access to and from the south. What does the project include? Major interchanges at: o GEHB and Roe Highway o GEHB and Abernethy Road An extension of Lloyd Street from its current end point to the GEHB, including a new bridge over the Helena River Upgrades to the GEHB, including removal of the existing intersection at Stirling Crescent Upgrades to parts of Abernethy Road. There will be a new heavy vehicle standard (RAV 7) connection at Adelaide Street Upgrade of Roe Highway between Talbot Road and Clayton Street, including a bridge duplication over Helena River Completion of the 30km Principal Shared Path network on Roe Highway between Great Eastern Highway and Kwinana Freeway Landscaping. How is the project funded? The project is jointly funded by the Australian and State Governments. The current project budget is $380million. Who is delivering the project? The Greater Connect Alliance, comprising Laing O’Rourke, AECOM and Arcadis, in partnership with Main Roads, will develop, design and construct the project following contract award in early 2021.

  • Priorities for Western Australia July 2015 » Federal Priorities for Western Australia 2015
    For the better 6 October 2015 Committee Secretary Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 [email protected] Dear Ms McDonald RAC's response to the Motor Vehicle Standards (Cheaper Transport) Bill 2014 Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the Motor Vehicle Standards (Cheaper Transport) Bill 2014 (the Bill). As a leading advocate on the mobility issues and challenges facing Western Australia (WA), RAC is pleased to provide this response on behalf of over 820,000 members. RAC works collaboratively with all levels of Government to ensure Western Australians have access to safe, accessible, and sustainable mobility options. RAC is making a real contribution to sustainable mobility in Western Australia by delivering the RAC Electric Highway®. The first of its kind in Australia, it builds on an idea by a Western Australian community based committee and is a network of publicly accessible electric vehicle fast-charging stations located between Perth and Augusta. Road transport remains the dominant means of transport for goods and passengers and consistently accounts for around three quarters of transport energy use. Within this, petrol and diesel fuels make up around three quarters of transport fuel used and as a result small improvements in fuel efficiency can have a significant impact on air quality and carbon dioxide (C02) emissions. Now is an opportune time to ensure Western Australian motorists have access to safe, affordable and efficient vehicles. The 2014 National Transport Commission's Information Paper found Australia's average C02 emissions for passenger cars in 2013 was 182g/km and the industry average was 192g/km across both passenger cars and rac.com.au light vehicles.
