PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSION
Thursday 26 May 2011 at 7.00pm
Function Room, Kingsway Indoor Sports Stadium.

As part of the City of Wanneroo’s 2011/2012 Capital Works Program, the second carriageway of Hepburn Avenue is proposed for construction between Mirrabooka Avenue and Bellerive Boulevard to create a four lane dual carriageway.  This will then complete all dualling works for Hepburn Avenue within the City’s jurisdiction.

The proposed works will include:

• Two lane southern carriageway construction from Mirrabooka Avenue to Bellerive Boulevard, including a 1.5m wide sealed shoulder for on-road cycling.
• Realigned northern and southern carriageway connections to the existing roundabouts at the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex Access Road and Hartman Drive.
• Existing “T” intersections at the Highclere Boulevard and Evandale Road to be upgraded with separate lanes for all left and right turns and a ‘Seagull’ median island to align right turn movements.
• Shared 2.5m wide path (pedestrians and cyclists) for the entire length of the project, located on the southern side of the road reserve, with connections to the existing adjacent road/path network.
• Underground drainage infrastructure for the entire length of the project, utilising a combination of roadside swale drains and piped drainage to either below ground infiltration chambers or existing stormwater drainage basins in the area.
• Landscaping of the road verges and median will be included as part of the road constructions works, with additional funding for completion of landscaping being promoted in the Draft 2012/2013 budget for Council consideration.

Whilst it is inevitable that the proposed construction of works of this nature may cause some inconvenience to persons living in the vicinity, every endeavour will be made to ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum.  The City considers that the proposed works will be for the mutual benefit of not only road users, but also the City’s ratepayers and furthermore, yourself. Your anticipated cooperation would therefore be greatly appreciated.

It is advised that the City proposes to commence construction of these works during November/December 2011, with a June 2012 completion being targeted.
