Background
With funding from Main Roads WA under the Low Cost Urban Road Safety Program, The City aims to improve road safety for local communities.
It is important that people who live and work in these areas can share their experience in relation to traffic issues in their local neighbourhood. We want to embed this knowledge in the design process, to create tailored traffic plans to address local issues.

The idea is to make whole neighbourhoods safer, not just single roads. The funding is for a range of small solutions, focusing on many low-cost treatments rather than one large one. This program only applies to local roads - it does not fund any measures (treatments) on main roads.

As well as input from local residents, this project will consider findings from the 2017 Local Area Traffic Management study and other relevant information. Successful treatments in other metropolitan areas have been installed to reduce speed, number and severity of crashes, and to create safer walking and cycling environments.

There are some road treatments that are better suited to slow traffic in particular conditions. Detailed information on the types of treatments is available here, and may include:
  • Mini roundabouts
  • Raised safety platforms
  • Signs and lines

How can I get involved?

Stage 1 of Community Engagement

We invited residents to engage in either/ both of the options below to let us know what issues they've noticed in their local neighbourhoods. This can include speed, volume of traffic, parking issues, hooning, rat-running (using local roads to avoid traffic on main roads) or other observations.

  • using the online map below to tell us your experiences
  • Attending the drop-in session held on 22nd October at The RISE to talk with the project team

Outcomes of this engagement can be viewed on pages 416 - 418 of the Council Agenda.

Stage 2 of Community Engagement

Based on what we heard from the community, we drafted a traffic management plan. We asked for your feedback on the proposed treatments in the following ways:
  • Complete the online survey by Tuesday, 20 June 2023.
  • Attended a drop-in session on Saturday, 20 May 2023 between 9.30am and 12noon at The RISE

Outcomes of this engagement can be viewed on pages 433 - 437 of the Council Agenda.

Stage 3 of Community Engagement

Earlier this year, the City engaged local residents living within the Shearn Park area in order to better understand the key safety concerns relating to your local roads. Based on responses received from a number of mail drops, local drop in sessions and surveys the City developed a draft treatment plan that was considered by Council in August 2023. At that time concerns were raised around the proposal; specifically, the inclusion of a number of mini-roundabouts and their potential impact on pedestrian and cyclist safety.

As a result, Council requested the City to investigate alternative treatment options and undertake further community engagement.

In considering a range of options available within the LCURS program that are in keeping with both best practice and the local road environment around Shearn Park a revised treatment plan is proposed Draft E3 Treatment Plan

The revised Treatment Plan proposes replacing mini roundabouts with a range of raised platforms. The raised platforms will all be uniform in height but will vary in size in order to accommodate stormwater run-off flows.

A recommended Draft Treatment Plan has been developed based on Local Community feedback, Main Roads WA data, and collected traffic data and is available for the community for further feedback.

There were several ways to provide feedback:

1. Online at the City’s Engage Bayswater site – you can view the details of the program and provide input online below.

2. In writing – you can send your comments to the Chief Executive Officer, PO Box 467, Morley WA 6943, or mail@bayswater.wa.gov.au

3. Completing the survey on page 4 of the mailed-out document and indicate your support for each treatment and return by post or email to mail@bayswater.wa.gov.au

4. Visit us at a drop-in session – the City hosted a drop-in session on Thursday, 7 December 2023

What's next?

The City's engineering team is busy developing the final traffic management plan. Updates will be published on this page.

Current timing will see this treatment presented at the March 2024 OCM for approval.
