AS08-04/16 – PT01-12/15 Concern regarding traffic volume, speed and safety on Badgerup Road and surrounding roads Gnangara

“Despite request by over 130 petitioners living in the area to reduce speed limit in Badgerup road to at least 70kph (the speed limit in the section of Badgerup Rd just north of Jambanis Rd is already 60kph) and adjoining roads such as Jambanis and Benmuni to 60kph, no recommendation from Council to approach the MRD with this request was made in the minutes of the recent Elected Members’ Briefing Session.

The briefing session also noted that “existing traffic volumes in Badgerup Road and adjoining roads are below the road capacities” based on a series of road surveys. The surveys showed that over 15% of traffic were speeding, and did not take into account the exaggerated traffic effects at peak commuting times on residents in a previously quite locality. Your traffic administration also “believes that a great deal of this traffic is detour traffic attributed by the recent Lenore Road construction”, however Councillors may be not aware there is now a major roundabout at the end of Elliot Rd which appears set up to channel traffic to Benmuni, Jambanis and Badgerup Roads in a direct line at 80 kph connecting with Ocean Reef Rd. It is difficult to believe that this traffic problem will not deteriorate even further.

My question is why the City of Wanneroo will not advocate on behalf of the residents of South Gnangara and ask the Main Roads Department to alter a few street signs to lower speed limits in the affected area?”

Response by Director Assets

Report Item Number AS08-04/16 addresses the question. Recommendations 5 and 6 made in report state that the City will request Main Roads WA to undertake area wide speed zone review in this area after the City collects further traffic count data later this year following the completion of Lenore Road construction works.

Foot crossing from Merriwa into Ridgewood

1.         Request for a foot crossing from Merriwa into Ridgewood and Ridgewood into Merriwa.

Response by Director Assets

Cononlly Drive is being upgraded into a duel carriage way and part of that upgrade will allow for a level crossing at the intersection of Jenolin Way, not an overbridge, but a level crossing to allow pedestrians to cross from one side to another.

2.         Bombers Football club wanting $300,000 being deferred and would like to bring it to the City of Wanneroo’s attention.

Response by Mayor Roberts

No this has not been deferred. It will be resolved this evening and there is a recommendation. There is a budget of $30,000 this financial year for the detailed design $391,000 in the budget for next financial year for the extension of 100 meters.

1.         Can the City please provide an update on the old Hainsworth Primary School site and whether or not the City of Wanneroo has discharged all of its statutory planning responsibilities to see development on this site progress to a stage where lots are on the market.

Response by A/Director, Planning and Sustainability

Hainsworth local structure plan 98 was adopted by Council in May 2015 and by the Commission in July the same year. On the 25 January 2016 the Commission approved the subdivision over the site that created super lots and the road network in accordance with the adopted structure plan. At this stage, subdivision has not been cleared by the City and therefore these lots and roads have not been created at this stage.

2.         Further to that what would need to be done to clear those subdivisions?

Response by A/Director, Planning and Sustainability

We would need to receive relevant information from the applicant in order to clear development conditions which the City is responsible.

Can there be clarification on where this sits in the budget?

Response from Mayor Roberts

Given it is on the Agenda, this question may be asked when the item is called.
