What is the Government’s position on building the remainder of Roe Highway Stage 8 and Fremantle Eastern Bypass?
Advice from the Department of Planning indicates that from a transport planning perspective, constructing Fremantle Eastern Bypass (FEB) and a further extension of Roe Highway through to Cockburn Road would improve traffic and road safety conditions for freight and general transport in the south west metropolitan corridor. The previous government however, oversaw the removal of the FEB from the Metropolitan Region Scheme in 2004. Disposal of the land to private ownership is now well advanced and some development is already occurring within the former FEB reservation. As a result of this redevelopment it is highly unlikely that the FEB project could be reinstated. In relation to a further extension of Roe Highway from Stock Road to Cockburn Road, the Department of Planning has commenced a planning review to determine the appropriate road network west of the planned Roe Highway / Stock Road intersection. For more information please contact the Department of Planning.
