The City of Rockingham has secured $1.84 million in State and Federal blackspot funding to help deliver five key road safety projects over the next two years.
Four projects to receive State funding include:
-
Stakehill Road: Various works including reconstructing curves, installing street lighting and a crash barrier that runs 430m east along Stakehill Road to Fletcher Road. This project will be delivered over 2022/23 and 2023/24.
-
Warnbro Sound Avenue/Port Kennedy Drive intersection: Installing predeflections on the southern and western approaches, as well as a crash barrier on the north-western corner.
-
Mandurah Road between Office Road and Dixon Road: Installation of a sealed shoulder on both sides of the road and a painted median.
-
Mandurah Road between Fifty Road and Safety Bay Road: Construction of a raised median, installation of a sealed shoulder on both sides and street lighting upgrades. This project will be delivered over 2022/23 and 2023/24.
The federally funded project will be delivered at Safety Bay Road between Julie Street and Michael Road which includes upgrading drainage and constructing a pedestrian refuge and shared path.
City of Rockingham Mayor Deb Hamblin said the delivery of these Blackspot projects aligned with the City’s Road Safety Action Plan.
“Blackspot projects are those that have a recorded history of incidents with a specific focus on fatal and/or serious crashes,” Mayor Hamblin said.
“The Blackspot funding the City has secured from both the federal and State Government will play a key role in boosting safety for motorists across the community. The City gratefully acknowledges both the Australian Government and State Government for their funding support.”
