Find out how the City maintains kerbs, pathways and bus shelters and how to request a repair or new installation.
Types of pathways
The City of Wanneroo manages three main types of pathways:
Footpaths: Typically constructed in concrete, these are narrower shared paths installed in residential streets.
Shared paths: Wider paths, constructed in concrete or red asphalt designed for all forms of Active Transport, including eRideables, often connecting key destinations such as train stations and major City facilities.
Principal shared paths (PSP): A network of paths running along the Mitchell Freeway from Romeo Road, Alkimos to the Perth CBD. These are managed by Main Roads WA. To report hazards or concerns on PSPs, please contact Main Roads WA directly.
Kerb and pathway requests
Residents can request repairs, replacements, or new installation of kerbs and pathways. These requests help maintain safe and accessible public spaces.
Kerbs will only be replaced if they are displaced or pose a hazard.
Residents and developers cannot remove or install pathways or kerbs themselves, as this is an offence under legislation and penalties apply.
The City can replace a kerb at the owner’s expense and will provide a quotation upon request.
All requests for new, replacement or upgraded pathways are assessed against the City's Pathways Policy using a set of criteria to help the City prioritise projects. To request an investigation for a new or upgraded pathway, complete the maintenance form.
Bus stops and shelters
Responsibilities for bus infrastructure in the City of Wanneroo are shared between two agencies:
- Public Transport Authority (PTA): Handles bus routes, stop placement and relocations.Call (08) 9326 2000 or email enquiries@pta.wa.gov.au
- City of Wanneroo: Handles the installation and maintenance of bus shelters, benches and bins. Complete the maintenance request form.
How bus shelter locations are prioritised
With over 1,000 bus stops across the City of Wanneroo, new shelters are chosen using the scoring rules in our Bus Stop Infrastructure Policy. Locations are scored based on how many people use the stop each day, how close it is to places like shops, doctors, and aged care, and whether the site is safe. If you would like to request a shelter, please contact the City.
