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.

    Federal priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the move. Federal priorities for Western Australia Western Australia’s rapid population growth coupled with its strongly performing economy is creating significant challenges and pressures for the State and its people. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the State’s road and public transport networks. Kununurra In March 2013 the RAC released its modelling of projected growth in motor vehicle registrations which revealed that an additional one million motorised vehicles could be on Western Australia’s roads by the end of this decade.

  • BORR Southern Section EPA Updated Referral Spprtng Doc Rev2
    Bunbury Outer Ring Road Southern Section Updated Environmental Referral Supporting Document and Additional Information BORR-02-RP-EN-0014 Rev 2 October 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bunbury Outer Ring Road (BORR) is a planned Controlled Access Highway linking the Forrest Highway and Bussell Highway. BORR will be a high standard route for access to the Bunbury Port and facilitate proposed development to the east of the City of Bunbury. BORR provides an effective bypass of Bunbury for inter-regional traffic. The BORR Project comprises three sections: • ‘BORR Northern Section’ – Forrest Highway to Boyanup-Picton Road. • ‘BORR Central Section’ – Boyanup-Picton Road to South Western Highway, an existing four kilometre (km) section which was completed in May 2013, along with a three km extension of Willinge Drive southwards to South Western Highway. • ‘BORR Southern Section’ – South Western Highway (near Bunbury Airport) to Bussell Highway. The Commissioner of Main Roads Western Australia (Main Roads) is proposing to construct and operate the southern section of the BORR Project. Main Roads is referring the BORR Southern Section (the Proposal) to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) for a decision on assessment under Section 38 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act). The purpose of this document is to provide information to support the decision on assessment of the Proposal. The Proposal includes the construction and operation of 10.5 km of freeway standard, dual carriageway southwest of South Western Highway (south of Bunbury Airport) to Bussell Highway and a 3 km regional distributor from Bussell Highway at Centenary Road southeast to a grade separated interchange at the western end of Lilydale Road.
