Background
The City of Cockburn is prioritising your safety on the roads. That's why we're implementing a significant improvement at the intersection of Beeliar Drive and Dunraven Drive – the installation of new traffic signals.
The current uncontrolled intersection at Beeliar Drive and Dunraven Drive has seen 27 crashes reported between December 2017 and 2022. These statistics highlight the need for improved traffic management at this location.
To ensure a smooth and successful project, we've divided it into two stages:
- Stage 1: Design (2025-26): Our traffic engineers will design the new traffic signal system, considering factors like traffic volume, pedestrian safety measures, and accessibility for people with disabilities.
- Stage 2: Construction (2026-27): Following the design phase, construction crews will begin installing the new traffic signals.
This project is part of the approved suite of initiatives in the City’s 2025–2026 Project Plans. While it isn't open for community to have their say, we know many residents are eager to stay informed.

Project Benefits
By installing traffic signals, we aim to significantly reduce the risk of crashes at this intersection. This project will benefit everyone who uses these roads, including:
- Drivers: Clear and controlled traffic flow will minimise confusion and potential collisions.
- Pedestrians: Designated crossing periods with signals will ensure safer movement across the intersection.
- Cyclists: Traffic signals will provide increased visibility and predictability for cyclists navigating the intersection.
