As part of the City’s Road Safety Management Plan, several intersections along Willmott Drive in Cooloongup and Wakiki are planned to be upgraded. Works are expected to begin in December 2026. This stretch of road has a history of crashes, and the planned changes aim to make the area safer for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, while improving access and traffic flow for the local community.
What’s happening
The City is installing roundabouts at the following intersections on Willmott Drive:
- Breaden Drive
- Grange Drive
- Goongarrie Drive
- Gascoyne Way
Roundabout design
In 2022, the City undertook community consultation on the planned upgrades along Willmott Drive. Feedback received during this consultation has been considered and incorporated into the final designs where appropriate.
An example of the planned roundabout treatment is shown below.

The public consultation plans (00121‑PC1‑B to 00121‑PC5‑B) are available to view below. These plans show the locations of the planned roundabouts and how they integrate with the existing road layout and surrounding area. The designs follow road safety best practice and take into account existing road conditions, surrounding infrastructure and utility services.
