As the City's population grows, we need to monitor, evaluate and adapt our roads and infrastructure to ensure they continue to meet the growing demand from increased traffic and pedestrians.
As part of the Baldivis Road Needs Study, Baldivis Road was identified to be upgraded to a Neighbourhood Connector design standard as per the Western Australian Planning Commission’s Liveable Neighbourhoods. The road has been progressively upgraded over the years when land development has reached the areas to cater for the increased traffic volumes.
The upgrade will include:
- Widened single lane in each direction
- Cycle lanes
- Central raised median island
- A 2.5m dual use path on the western side
- Upgraded street lighting
We appreciate that the proposed works may cause some disruption but these upgrades are necessary to increase capacity of the City's road network and improve road safety in our community.
