February Ordinary Council Meeting Outcomes

Funding secured for Neaves Road safety improvements

Council has accepted a $3.75 million Federal Government grant to deliver important safety upgrades along Neaves Road.

This funding enables the City to progress widening works, sealed shoulders, centreline treatments and other improvements aimed at reducing crashes and enhancing safety for all road users, including heavy vehicles.

The City will co‑fund the project, with detailed design planned for next financial year and construction to follow. These upgrades will provide immediate safety benefits and support Neaves Road’s future role within a rapidly developing region.

Strengthening safety across our City

Council endorsed a new three-year contract for the maintenance and management of the City’s CCTV network.

 CCTV plays an important role in supporting community safety, assisting WA Police and helping residents feel safer in public places. The contract ensures our extensive CCTV network is professionally maintained, reliable and operating at its best.

Local contractor Prestige Alarms has been appointed to deliver these services following a rigorous and competitive tender process.

Keeping our community safe remains one of the City’s top priorities, and this decision helps ensure our CCTV systems continue to support a safer, more connected Wanneroo.

City to trial maintenance reporting mobile app Snap Send Solve

Council has endorsed a 12-month trial of Snap Send Solve, a mobile app that allows fast, on-the-spot reporting of local maintenance issues. The app lets users take a photo, confirm the location and send the report directly from their phone in just a few taps.

Snap Send Solve will operate as a complimentary reporting channel alongside the City’s existing online services. Residents can continue to lodge requests through the Council website, with the app providing an additional, convenient way to report issues such as graffiti, damaged footpaths, litter, or broken park equipment. 

Improving customer experience is a key priority under our Customer First Strategy, and this trial aims to offer residents an alternative way to report maintenance and service requests. The trial will help the City assess whether the app improves reporting convenience, speeds up response times and enhances the overall customer experience.

Further details on how and when residents can start using the platform will be shared ahead of the trial launch.

Step forward for Neerabup Resource Recovery Precinct

Council has voted to progress the $75 million Neerabup Resource Recovery Precinct (NRRP) to detailed design, marking a major milestone in planning for the City’s future waste needs.
