In view of the environmental issues associated with the highway proposal, the... Read more...Last updated: August 22, 1994
Since the original environmental statement was published ( Ministerial Statement 84 ), a detailed review of the whole route between middle Swan and the Metropolitan Region Scheme boundary at Wooroloo has been completed. As a result of these studies, Main Roads consider that some sections of the original route need to be changed. In its letter to the Minister for the Environment, Main Roads also indicated that a detailed study of the possible alignment options for the Perth to Adelaide National...

The proposal is to upgrade and widen the Brookton Highway between Armadale and Brookton. At present the road has a safety problem because the road and its gravel verges are narrow, there are sharp corners and the surface is hilly and rough. A portion of the Highway passes through an area of State Forest which was identified as potentially valuable for conservation by the Environmental Protection Authority in its System 6 'Red Book' report of 1983 (recommendation C37). The values of... Read more...Last updated: September 30, 1993

The West Coast Highway has a record of accidents in the vicinity of Challenger Parade in South City Beach. The local community has indicated distress at the frequency of accidents, both reported and unreported. To improve safety, the City of Perth and Main Roads have been investigating options for the realignment of the section of West Coast Highway between Rochdale Road and Helston A venue. This proposal has the potential to degrade the values recommended for conservation in the System 6... Read more...Last updated: June 25, 1992

The proponents, the City of Cockburn, propose to duplicate a section of Farrington Road, approximately 450 m long from just west of Murdoch drive to approximately 150 m west of Bibra Drive to increase the number of lanes from two to four. The work will be carried out within the existing road reserve with the new carriage way to be constructed to the north of the existing one. Read more...Last updated: May 3, 1991
The proposal is to realign Yangebup Road between Hammond Road and Lorimer Road, within the suburb of Yangebup. The Yangebup Road realignment involves closing the existing Yangebup Road along the southern margin of Lake Yangebup and realigning the road further south. The proposed new alignment passes approximately halfway between Lake Yangebup and Lake Kogolup, on the higher ground which separates their respective surface drainage catchments. The proposed construction works associated with the... Read more...Last updated: November 8, 1990
The proposal is to place sand (surcharge) to a height of 4.5 metres along a 1.9 kilometre length of the Mitchell Freeway adjacent to Lake Monger. The sand is to be piled to consolidate peat and an old sanitary landfill site for works associated with the widening of the Mitchell Freeway and the provision of a median strip for the proposed Northern Suburbs Rail Link. Because of the presence of peat and sanitary landfill, the ground is relatively spongy and would create an unsuitable base for the... Read more...Last updated: October 3, 1990
The Water Authority has stated that following the completion of the Pinjar groundwater development, a new major water supply source will be required by 1992. This reasoning is based on current and predicted water consumption demand even in view of the Water Authority's public water conservation programme. Because of the extent, magnitude and likely environmental implications of developing a new water supply source, the EPA required the Water Authority to prepare an ERMP for this project....

The proposal is to redevelop the existing Victoria Reservoir on Munday Brook, approximately 20 kilometres east of Perth. This is considered necessary by the Water Authority of Western Australia due to the age and condition of the existing dam, and timely in view of the current residential and rural development pressures being placed on the associated water catchments. Redevelopment of the Victoria Reservoir would involve the creation of a new larger dam to replace the existing structure to gain... Read more...Last updated: July 13, 1990
The proposal, by the Water Authority of Western Australia, consists of a preferred option of constructing a 1420 mm diameter pipeline from the Water Authority of Western Australia's property adjacent to the Ocean Reef Boat Harbour, out to sea for a distance of 1800 m. This proposal will increase the capacity to dispose of treated wastewater from the current level of 54 Megalitres per day (ML/day) to a maximum of 150 ML/day. The secondary treated effluent will be discharged into the ocean... Read more...Last updated: April 30, 1990

The proposal is for a 330 kV transmission line from Harvey to Kwinana, a distance of approximately 102 km. The first 51 km of the route parallels the existing Bunbury - Cannington 132 kV line from the Harvey Substation site almost to Pinjarra. There are a number of deviations to avoid major road intersections, dwellings and their environs and Pinjarra townsite. Following this , the route joins the existing Muja - Southern Terminal 330 kV line and follows it for most of the next 44 km. There is... Read more...Last updated: October 12, 1988
The proposal is to deepen the Inner Harbour of the Port of Fremantle by dredging the harbour by 2 metres to achieve a depth of approximately 13 metres. The dredge spoil would be used to reclaim an area of 27 hectares to the north of the North Mole, to be contained by a sea wall to the west and a bund wall to the north. A small harbour (14 hectares) would be located adjacent to the reclamation, capable of providing for up to 150 vessels. It is proposed that the reclaimed land be used to create... Read more...
