By 2041, the population is KEY – LEVELS OF SERVICE (LOS) expected to grow to 400,000 from a 2016 level of 198,000 DURING MORNING PEAK (ref. ABS).

By 2029 - LOS F: Average delays of up to 110 seconds, extensive Ÿ Main Roads trafc modelling indicates that within ve years, delays and congestion service levels will deteriorate signicantly due to increased demand. Within ten years, the intersection will reach a state of gridlock, resulting in heavy congestion, longer journey times and increased safety risk.

These gures refer to the performance of the intersection as a whole. Specic legs of the intersection will fail before these dates resulting in congestion, delays and safety impacts.

Ÿ A 24-hour video survey undertaken on 13 September 2017 (post-opening of Mitchell Freeway extension north of Burns Beach Road) showed that the through east-west volumes along Joondalup Drive were two and a half times greater than the north-south volumes along Wanneroo Road. Ÿ Based on Main Roads trafc modelling, by 2031, east-west volumes along Joondalup Drive during peak periods will remain more than twice as high as the north-south volumes along Wanneroo Road. This reects additional trafc growth forecast on Joondalup Drive to support residential and commercial development. Ÿ The urban development catchment lies predominantly to the east of Wanneroo Road. Joondalup Drive is the major east- west route that will be used to access areas to the west including the Joondalup City Centre, the Mitchell Freeway, the train station/line and coastal area.

The Planning Team prepared the plan for the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. Brendan Dooley (Plan Coordinator) Department of Conservation and Land Management Tim Bowra Department of Conservation and Land Management Dennis Cluning City of Joondalup Phil Thompson City of Wanneroo PREFACE Regional parks are areas of regional open space that are identified by planning procedures as having outstanding conservation, landscape and recreation values. Regional parks provide the opportunity for a consortium of management agencies and private landowners to develop co-ordinated planning and management strategies. Regional parks were first proposed in the Stephenson - Hepburn Report of 1955, which later formed the basis of the Perth Metropolitan Region Scheme in 1963. Since then, State planning agencies have been acquiring suitable private land in anticipation of the time when regional parks would be formally created. In 1997, the State government announced a commitment to introduce legislation to give regional parks legal standing and vesting in the former NPNCA, now the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. Eight regional parks were recognised as formal identities, with the co-ordination of their management progressively transferred to the Department of Conservation and Land Management.

Mitchell Freeway Extension is a $261.4 million project funded by the Aerial view of the future freeway alignment looking north from Burns Beach Road. Australian ($209.1 million) and West Australian ($52.3 million) Governments. DID YOU KNOW? The equivalent of 700 Olympic size swimming pools of material is expected to be moved by project completion. Major earthworks are expected to continue across the project area until mid-2016. PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS BENEFIT FROM EXTENSION Pedestrians and cyclists will benefit from more than 15 km of new shared paths that will be installed as part of the project.
