We are proposing to upgrade the intersection of Norseman Approach and Edwin Link in Baldivis with a mini roundabout featuring a low, drive‑over centre island for larger vehicles such as buses, emergency vehicles and trucks. The upgrade aims to reduce traffic incidents and improve access to the nearby commercial centre, which is in line with our Road Safety Management Plan.
What is being proposed?
This intersection has been identified through our road safety assessments as a location requiring improvement.
Which includes:
- Installing a mini roundabout with a low, drive‑over centre island
- Minor kerbing, pavement and line marking adjustments
- Improved pedestrian crossing points
- Removal of the existing raised platform

We invite you to provide feedback on the proposed works by emailing customer@rockingham.wa.gov.au by close of business (COB) on Thursday 12 March 2026.
Pending consultation outcomes, works are expected to begin in the 2026/2027 financial year.
FAQs (Frequently asked questions)
A mini roundabout features a low, dome‑shaped centre island designed so larger vehicles such as buses, emergency can drive over it when needed, while everyday vehicles travel around it.
A mini roundabout operates the same way as a standard roundabout but is smaller and is typically installed where size constraints prevent a full‑size roundabout.
Its low, drive‑over centre island allows larger vehicles to pass over it safely, unlike standard roundabouts which have raised, non‑mountable central islands.
If access through Norseman Approach and Edwin Link is restricted during construction, alternative routes include:
- Settlers Avenue
- Atwick Terrace
- Goulburn Road
- Mennock Approach
There are also multiple internal car park access points via Safety Bay Road and Baldivis Road, ensuring access to shops and services remains available.
Construction is planned for weeknights during the 2026/2027 financial year. Completing the works at night will help the City minimise disruption for visitors to the nearby commercial centre.
