  • Sustainable Transport Implications of Murdoch Drive Connection To
    Beeliar Group Statement 5 Sustainable Transport Implications of Murdoch Drive Connection to Kwinana Freeway and Roe Highway A Statement of The Beeliar Group: Professors for Environmental Responsibility 2017 Introduction Main Roads WA’s (MRWA’s) Information Sheet dated 17th August, 2017, provides a rationale for the Murdoch Drive Connection and briefly outlines the project timetable, land impacts and noise management. The Connection (which is illustrated below) has a project budget of $100 million and “initial construction activity” is expected to begin in mid to late 2017. Night works that include drilling and digging in discrete areas for service locations and environmental investigations began on 22nd August. Notice has been given of, and nominations invited for, a Construction Reference Group, which will inform the detailed design development and construction process for the project; help identify and respond to project issues and opportunities identified by project stakeholders; and communicate project matters to and from relevant stakeholder groups. Nominations for membership of the Group closed on 28th August. Murdoch Drive Connection (copied from Murdoch Drive Connection to Roe Highway and Kwinana Freeway, MRWA Information Sheet August 2017) The Connection project comprises extension of Murdoch Drive south from Farrington Road to provide connections to Roe Highway and Kwinana Freeway.

  • Wheatbelt Roads Need More Attention
    Tuesday 13 October 2015 Wheatbelt roads need more attention RAC has today released its 12 month Risky Roads campaign scorecard, revealing that work still needs to be done on some of the Wheatbelt’s most dangerous roads. RAC General Manager Corporate Affairs, Will Golsby, said the scorecard looked at the progress made on the roads that were nominated by the community as the State’s riskiest roads 12 months ago. “We acknowledge and welcome the construction underway on some of the Wheatbelt roads identified, but we’re extremely concerned that that work on the rest has not commenced,” Mr Golsby said. Last year, the WA community nominated almost half of the State’s riskiest roads to be in the Wheatbelt, including Toodyay Road from Red Hill to Toodyay, Great Eastern Highway in Southern Cross, Great Northern Highway in Bindi-Bindi, Bruce Rock-Merredin Road in Merredin and Indian Ocean Drive in Lancelin. The 12 month scorecard reveals that Bruce Rock-Merredin Road in Merredin remains unchanged with poor road quality and width, and Indian Ocean Drive in Lancelin is in desperate need of construction to improve overtaking opportunities. “These results highlight the need for the State Government to deliver more funding, but the current State Budget only confirms a reduction in spending. “This funding is urgent because tragically we have already lost 13 loved ones in the Wheatbelt this year. We need to do more to save lives and stop serious injuries.” More needs to be done on roads such as Toodyay Road where there have been 181 crashes resulting in 10 fatalities and 59 hospital or medical treatments since 2010.
