Project outcomes

The City has listened to recent feedback about pedestrian amenities on Sain Road and assessed whether a footpath connection can be built between Coogee Plaza and King Street.

While preliminary assessments indicated a footpath would be possible, further detailed ground surveys found the site conditions are more complex than anticipated.

Given the site constraints, and in particular the road gradient, it is unfeasible to deliver a footpath that meets the required Australian standards. The City regrets to advise that a footpath cannot proceed at this location.

The existing safe network access to Coogee Plaza, along King Street and Hamilton Road, has been repaired to improve amenity for pedestrians and people who use a wheelchair.

Should you have any further queries or require more information please contact the City of Cockburn on 08 9411 3444 or [email protected].

Thank you for your feedback

Thank you to everyone who shared their views about Sain Road pedestrian amenities. Your input is appreciated.

We heard from 36 local property owners, residents and pedestrians during the comment period between 12 March and 9 April 2021.

The following themes emerged in the majority of responses:

• Satisfaction with Sain Road pedestrian amenities ranks low.
• Safety is a top priority.
• The provision of a footpath will positively impact residents and pedestrians.
• The eastern side of Sain Road is the most appropriate location for a footpath because it is safer.

Next steps

Considering community feedback, the City is investigating the viability of a footpath connection along Sain Road, between Coogee Plaza and King Street.

The City must assess a range of site constraints such as road gradients, drainage and verge space. Project outcomes will be detailed on this page when available.
