Works are now underway on the next stage of the Ennis Avenue Shared Path Project.

The current phase of works will deliver a new section of red asphalt path along Ennis Avenue between Carlston Road and Dixon Road.

This stage of the project will be completed by the end of November 2021, and is part of a wider project that will see the upgrading/construction of approximately 3.4 km of shared path along Ennis Avenue and Dixon Road between Ennis Avenue and Goddard Street.

Once complete, the project will provide a north/south cycling link along Ennis Avenue from Rockingham Train Station to Patterson Road, as well as an east/west cycling route along Dixon Road between Patterson Road and Goddard Street.

Overall, the Ennis Avenue Shared Path project will cost $830,000, with the City securing $400,000 worth of grants from the State Government’s WA Bike Network Grants Program to help deliver the project.

City of Rockingham Mayor Deb Hamblin said the project will deliver better safety and accessibility outcomes for both pedestrians and cyclists alike.
“The Ennis Avenue Shared Path project runs through an important corridor in our City and has been identified and prioritised through the City’s Long Term Cycle Network Plan,” Mayor Hamblin said.

“Once fully established, it will better connect users to the Rockingham Light Industrial Area, South Metropolitan TAFE, Murdoch University Rockingham Campus, Mike Barnett Sports Complex, Kolbe Catholic College, Hillman Primary School, the City Centre and Rockingham Train Station.

“While the City delivers this stage of the project there may be intermittent delays for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians as appropriate traffic management is put in place. We thank the community for their patience and understanding.

“The City would also like to thank the State Government for its support of the project through the WA Bike Network Grants Program.”
