Consultation has concluded
The City of Cockburn has prepared a draft design to slow traffic on Healy Road between Rockingham Road and Carrington Street. Before finalising the plans, the City wants to hear your feedback on the draft.

What we heard so far
In 2021, the City invited Healy Road residents to have their say on making the street safer. Participants identified improvement opportunities and treatment ideas through workshops and an online mapping exercise.
The City received over 80 suggestions, with most respondents noting vehicle speeds as their primary concern. We received diverse and conflicting views about treatments. However, the most suggested treatments by participants include speed humps, pavement markings, and various types of slow points. There was a desire among respondents east of Hoskins Street to retain the existing road conditions.
About the draft design
Alongside site and budget constraints, the draft design considers the community's feedback and includes the following treatments:
Seven speed humps
Three additional slow points
Two pavement artworks
Street trees or low garden beds along two corner verges
No changes east of Hoskins Street.
Initially, the City’s plan involved installing temporary fixtures like pot plants and bollards to calm traffic, which received funding from the RAC. Upon further community feedback, the City committed to refining the design to better align with community expectations. Recent Council funding has allowed us to develop a revised design with permanent treatments.
