Bayswater Waves Area Traffic Management

Thank you for your input.  This consultation is now closed

Area bounded by Broun Avenue, Collier Road and Embleton Avenue

Background

The City of Bayswater has been successful in securing Main Roads WA funding under the Urban Road Safety Program, to develop and implement a traffic management plan for an area of Embleton (Bayswater Waves Area) bounded by Broun Avenue, Collier Road and Embleton Avenue (see image).

The area has previously been considered in a Local Area Traffic Management study conducted by the City in 2017, and Main Roads WA recently identified the area as being eligible for funding as a result of the crash statistics collected over recent years.

Council has recently considered the matter and has resolved to work with residents and stakeholders to develop a traffic management plan. You can view the full report here (page 277). The plan will include treatments that address traffic issues such as excessive volumes and speeds, and will address safety. Examples of the types of treatments that can be used to provide local area traffic management are shown in this fact sheet.

Community Engagement

Input from residents is critical in the development of the traffic management plan, as they experience the issues on a daily basis. We asked residents to get involved in December 2021 by attending a drop in session and/or using the online map below to let us know what they're observing.

You can view community input received online in the map below. A summary of the data is provided in the Stage 1 Outcomes Report.

Following a review of submissions, draft traffic management plans were developed by a design consultant engaged by the City.

We then invited residents to comment on the proposed treatments. Community input for this submission period closed March 2022. Reponses have been sent to those residents who provided comments.

Council approved the program at its Ordinary Council Meeting June 28. Minutes are available here (Item 10.3.1, on page 237).

What Happens Next?

The project has now moved to the construction phase, residents with a treatment adjacent to their property have been notified and we are ready to proceed. To enable the works to proceed smoothly there will be road closures in place at various times, however there will be traffic controllers on site at all times to assist motorists. The works will be limited to the road surface only and will not affect crossovers or verges.

Works in this precinct will commence on 28 March 2023 and be scheduled to take advantage of the April school holidays. The City now expects the works to be complete by June 2023
