    When will Rowley Road extension start? When will Hammond road be extended to connect to Rowley Road?

    BNM asked almost 2 years ago

    Thank you for your questions. 


    RE Rowley Road - This is a Primary Regional Road, meaning it is the responsibility of Main Roads WA to plan, design, schedule and deliver. The City has advocated for many years to see the progress of Rowley Road given the impact the current traffic has on the local road network.


    RE Hammond Road extension - One of the critical aspects to progress road delivery is the land. There is currently a large portion of the land needed for the further extension and duplication of Hammond Road still held in private ownership. Many of the development lots which need to contribute toward paying for this road have been slow to develop (meaning the City does not have the funds available).  Given this, the Hammond Road works are not able to be identified as a short term infrastructure priority.

    Hope that information helps.

    Thank you for your enquiry. The City’s proposed new or upgraded facility projects are current listed in the City’s Community Sport and Recreation Facilities Plan 2018-2033. Unfortunately there are no new projects that provide additional ground space in Aubin Grove. However, the City’s Recreation Services team will continue to work with the current President in identifying overflow grounds and other solutions to alleviate capacity issues (e.g. upgrade in sports lighting).

    Why are we spending monies on road duplication, should we not be up-keeping those we have and pushing the use of public transport ?

    John 45P asked almost 2 years ago

    Thanks for your question. The City's Integrated Transport Strategy (ITS) promotes the facilitation of a safe, efficient and sustainable movement around the City, managing traffic congestion, as well as advocating for improved public transport and supporting alternative means of transport.

    Certain roads do require duplication as they reach a threshold of vehicles per day to meet these objectives. 

    Hope that helps.

    Verbalmonkey asked almost 2 years ago

    Thanks for your question. 

    The City is currently conducting an intersection options investigation for the current 3-way, priority controlled T-junction intersections of Beeliar Drive and Dunraven Avenue; and Beeliar Drive and The Grange, with various options and proposals being tested involving full signalisation of the intersections or alternatively installing a roundabout treatment in this location. This assessment will also involve analysing the existing roundabout between Beeliar Drive and Spearwood Avenue to identify any potential improvements that could possibly be implemented to enhance the performance of the roundabout. 

    Much of the funding for local government road improvements comes from the State via grant programs, these are used together with City fundings and resources to deliver upgrades. 

    Please note, the City is not the decision maker about which projects receive grant funding.

    There are limits on funding programs as well as the City’s ability to deliver these improvements as well. 

    Should this road be considered and successful in obtaining funding in future, there would be a design process which would include community consultation before any construction could be scheduled.

    Dyap asked almost 2 years ago

    Thanks for your question. The closure of Irvine Parade and Rowley Road intersection is a requirement by Main Roads (MRWA) in relation to the development of Vivente. MRWA put this condition to implement once the final stage of Vivente is completed. The City of Cockburn do not have a timeframe for the final stage as it's up to the developer to finish the development. At this point in time, the possible timeframe could be 2-4 years.

    Hi Kate, thanks for your questions. Bakers Square Playground underwent a significant upgrade in 2019/2020 and the playground footprint has the capacity for the addition of another play element. The request can be considered in future budgets.

    Thanks for your question. The Beeliar Community Voice in consultation with City agreed that the priority areas were streetscape improvements within the Beeliar Gardens Estate. The City's Shade Sail Strategy provides funding for 6 new installations each financial year. Systena Park has been added to the Shade Sail installation schedule and is due 2024/2025.
