Public Artwork on the Mandurah Entrance Road Public Artwork on the Mandurah Entrance Road The Mandurah Entrance Road (MER) provides a new grand entry to Mandurah, for rail and road users alike, with one of the most extensive public artwork displays on a State road project. Included are two iconic sculptures, approximately three kilometres of painted retaining walls and an applied artwork on a major retaining wall. Collectively the artworks create a visual identity for the road whilst assisting with way finding. The visual enhancement adds to the motorists’ experience and contributes to local place making. Mandurah Road roundabout sculpture – Scoop Artist: Anne Neil This iconic sculpture situated in the roundabout at Mandurah Road was inspired by the region’s established water culture, local aboriginal significance, and the annual crab festival. The design is an abstract representation of a net, changing as it moves through water. The Scoop is comprised of five central posts or ‘ribs’, which are offset in an arch shape. It has been constructed from marine grade aluminium, is approximately 10.5 metres in height and occupies a 25 metre diameter space within the roundabout. Kwinana Freeway interchange sculpture – Attractor Artist: Gary Aitken Inspired by the iconic Mandurah ferris wheel, this sculpture comprises floating circles with circular perforations that interact with light to create shadows that continuously transform the artwork. The orange and blue colours of the sculpture refer to the sun, water and sky. This colour scheme also creates a visual synergy with the painted retaining walls, which include a similar palette. This piece is located on the western side of the interchange and serves as a way finding device from the freeway to the Mandjoogoordap Rd. Mandurah ENTRANCE ROAD Retaining wall artwork – Hue Artist: Gary Aitken Rail commuters can now also experience a vibrant entrance to Mandurah with a painted artwork that extends almost four kilometres along the retaining walls which separate the railway line and the carriageway. The artwork reflects the colours in the surrounding environment from the green, brown and grey palette of the inland bush, to the blues and oranges of the Mandurah coast. Applied aluminium & concrete artwork – Sun Mandala Artist: Gary Aitken This applied relief sculptural artwork is inspired by the Mandurah sunset and is based on a geometric mandala design that radiates out from the centre of a two hundred metre long coloured concrete retaining wall. The wall is located adjacent to a painted artwork on Gordon Road Bridge which has a complementary theme. About the artists Anne Neil Before being commissioned to create a major sculpture for the MER, Anne was the chief artist and team leader on the Kwinana Freeway extension – Forrest Highway Public Art Program, which included a major iconic sculpture ‘Water Gary Aitken Dance’, and six bridge abutments with integrated and painted designs.

The RAC represents all road users on the WA Road Safety Council and has strong alliances with local government, Main Roads WA (MRWA) and community road safety organisations. Having a safe road environment is important for all road users because the right infrastructure can be the difference between a fatal crash and a minor collision. Last year on average one person died on WA roads nearly every two days. The RAC’s Risky Roads campaign is WA’s biggest public infrastructure survey and is undertaken to provide a snapshot of community perceptions, insight for road authorities and assist in identifying trends in traffic flow, infrastructure and safety. The 2014 campaign ran during April and May, providing Western Australians’ the opportunity to express their views and nominate sub-standard roads and intersections throughout the state.

  • LAKELANDS, MANDURAH — TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT Grievance MR D.A
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 8 May 2014] p3048b-3050a Mr David Templeman; Mr Dean Nalder LAKELANDS, MANDURAH — TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT Grievance MR D.A. TEMPLEMAN (Mandurah) [9.14 am]: My grievance this morning is to the Minister for Transport and concerns a very important issue for the residents of the booming Mandurah suburb of Lakelands and the parents and students who access the two schools in that locality. Lakelands is a major suburb in north Mandurah. In the past 10 years, it has grown from a community of a few dozen people to a population of more than 3 000 residents. The demographics include many first home buyers, a large number of young families with children and retirees. It has a very large retirement village called Lattitude Lakelands, which, in itself, houses more than 400 residents. The suburb is located between Mandurah Road on the west and the Perth–Mandurah rail line to the east. The only entrance into and out of Lakelands from Mandurah Road is Catalina Drive. Catalina Drive carries the traffic into and out of the suburb and there are no traffic lights at its intersection with Mandurah Road. Indeed, Catalina Drive is extremely busy. There are two schools in the area—Mandurah Baptist College, with 1 200 students and Lakelands Primary School, which, when it is fully operational next year, will have more than 450 students, compounding the volume of traffic and the safety concerns of the residents of Lakelands. At peak times Catalina Drive is expected to carry residents leaving the suburb for work and other day-to-day pursuits and their return, as well as the huge number of parents who drop off their children at Mandurah Baptist College.

The proposal extends from the southern most portion of the proposed Kwinana Freeway at Stock Road, Lakelands (near Mandurah) south to where it intersects Old Coast Road approximately 2.5 km north of Johnston Road. Section 44 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 requires the EPA to report to the Minister for the Environment on the environmental factors relevant to the proposal and on the conditions and procedures to which the proposal should be subject, if implemented. In addition, the EPA may make recommendations as it considers necessary. Relevant environmental factors Although a number of environmental factors were considered by the EPA in the assessment, it is the EPA’s opinion that the following are the environmental factors relevant to the proposal, which require detailed evaluation in the report: • Vegetation Communities • Declared Rare and Priority Flora • Wetlands • Traffic Noise Conclusion The EPA has considered the proposal by MRWA to construct an inter-regional road on the eastern side of the Peel-Harvey Estuary to bypass Mandurah and the comments raised by government agencies and public submissions.
