It is an important connection between the nearby Port of Fremantle Inner Harbour and industrial areas including Kewdale, Forrestfield, Welshpool and Kwinana. Connections between Fremantle and Kewdale on High Street form part of a designated Primary Regional Road in the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS), and are also part of the National Land Transport Network. The High Street component of the freight network is under considerable strain from the significant growth in container trade through the Inner Harbour. This growth has increased by an average of 7.5 per cent per annum over the past 15 years and is expected to continue, underpinned by Western Australia's strong economy and population growth as a result of the global demand for energy and resources located in the North West of Australia. According to projections by the Fremantle Port Authority, the volume of freight needing to be transported by road to and from the Inner Harbour is likely to increase by 80 per cent between 2012 and 2027, even with 30 per cent of the total freight task being met by rail (as per the WA State Government's target). The core goal of this initiative is to ensure the High Street freight network supports access to the Port of Fremantle in future. This includes maximising the productivity of the Inner Harbour through improved landside port access, but also maximising safety for vehicles and people utilising the High Street freight network. These improvements will contribute to the development and liveability of the City of Fremantle which is a major strategic city centre in Perth. These proposal goals help to deliver on State and National policy priorities on transportation. For example, both the national Perth Urban Corridor Strategy and Western Australia's own Metro Freight Network Strategy specifically highlight the importance of addressing the present constraints on High Street. The goals also support many of the key strategic priorities of Infrastructure Australia, such as improving the nation's competitiveness and building our cities and towns. Importantly, the project also complements the significant investment in capacity expansion at the Inner Harbour itself in recent years, which will allow it to meet the growth in demand. High Street is a four-lane undivided road, with design characteristics which make it difficult for heavy vehicles to negotiate and several points of local road and residential access. This is impacting upon freight reliability and port access. In this context, the High Street freight network is an enabler of economic growth and activity in the state. In considering options to meet these goals and address identified problems, several alternatives were considered including demand management strategies, better use options and regulatory intervention. All of these were assessed according to a set criteria which linked to goals and constraints identified. The preferred option is to invest in the High Street road network to expand the link into a 4-lane divided road, with provision for further expansion to six-lanes in future (in line with future plans to expand the surrounding freight network to six lanes). The priority of traffic flow will be given to the high volume movements to and from the Inner Harbour while safety will be improved by correcting the present shortcomings in design that make it difficult for heavy vehicles to maneuver. The existing High Street will also be retained as a local access road. A key risk remaining to be resolved is to secure agreement from key local stakeholders. This aspect of the project led to its funding being removed from the National Building Program 1 (where it was allocated $68m). However, significant work with stakeholders has been undertaken since then by the State's planning and transportation agencies to bring the project closer to delivery. Transport Portfolio, Main Roads WA — Infrastructure Australia Submission Leech Highway (High Street) (Carrington Street to Stirling Highway) — Draft Revision A Is this a new submission? No. A total of $68m was allocated for the upgrading of this section of High Street in the Nation Building Program 1 (NBP1) as part of the Perth Urban Transport and Freight Corridor initiative with the Commonwealth and State Governments contributing equal shares. However, the City of Fremantle was opposed to the preferred alignment option at the time. Due to this and other statutory issues which still needed resolution, it was not feasible to construct the project within the NBP1 timeframe. The State and Commonwealth Governments agreed to reallocate the funding to other high priority projects while undertaking further community consultation. This work has now progressed to a level where the State Government is confident that the project can be delivered in the near future. Estimated cost of problems? The cost of the problem can be attributed to increased travel times of freight movements, crashes resulting in damage and delays, and social impacts such as noise and pollution. Estimated Capital Cost of Initiative by Proponent ($M, nominal, The order of cost for this proposal is $100 million. undiscounted): Includes $8m of NBP1 funding retained for planning, design and preliminary works Commonwealth contribution sought by Proponent ($M, nominal, A contribution of 50% of the capital cost is being sought from undiscounted): the Commonwealth Government, this being $50 million.

  • The Perth Freight Link: Facts and Fiction Prepared by Peter Newman and Philip Jennings for the Beeliar Group – Professors for Environmental Responsibility
    For Release 8 Feb 2017 The Perth Freight Link: Facts and Fiction Prepared by Peter Newman and Philip Jennings for The Beeliar Group – Professors for Environmental Responsibility The supporters of Roe 8 and the Perth Freight Link (PFL) have been spreading misinformation and half truths about the developments. Their aim is to discredit alternatives by the selective use of the facts. This analysis of the Roe 8 and PFL myths provides a more complete picture. Myth 1: The PFL has been on the books for 60 years and no one objected until recently. The PFL was a Prime Minister Abbott “Captain’s Call” presented to the former Transport Minister, Dean Nalder, at a meeting in Canberra in early 2015, along with similar highly controversial roads in Melbourne and Sydney. The Melbourne East-West Link was rejected by the Victorian people at their last election. It is extremely unusual to have a road project proposed by a Commonwealth politician and it has disrupted all planning processes since it was dropped on Perth without any history or warning. The PFL is still a vague proposal and the detailed design has never been released publicly or assessed by the EPA. Roe 8 was included in the Metropolitan Region Scheme in 1963 without any public consultation or environmental impact assessment as part of a ring road bringing traffic to the coast between North Coogee and South Beach and then north to Fremantle. The Cockburn Wetlands Study of 1975 first suggested that the road should not proceed. The first environmental assessment was carried out by the EPA in 1978 and it recommended in its System Six report in 1980 that a new route be found because the proposed route was environmentally unacceptable.
