Community workshops
So far, two community workshops have been held to help determine a preferred upgrade option.
At the first workshop in May 2008, five options were presented. Of these, two (Options 1A and 2A) were generally preferred by the community. The community requested a third, hybrid option to be developed that addressed, as much as possible, various community concerns and comments. This resulted in 'hybrid' Option 4.

Three preferred options (1A, 2A and the hybrid Option 4) were presented at workshop two at the Esplanade Hotel Fremantle on Tuesday 17 March 2009.
Option 4 attracted the majority of support from members of the community at the second public forum. The Department is now analysing written feedback and comments for all options so they can be considered in determining a final preferred option.
Features of each of the three options are:
|
|
|
A completely separate four-lane divided road in-cut approximately 70m south of and parallel to the existing road.
Stirling Highway and High Street east become the priority route linked with a 270m radius curve with a posted speed of 60kph. Montreal Street to Carrington Street proposed posted speed of 70kph. |
| Horizontal |
Displaced to south (70m) over full length |
| Vertical |
In-cut for 700m (Onslow to Robinson) |
| Trees |
Several saved west of Wilkinson |
| Noise |
Horizontal and vertical separation. Minimum noise wall requirement. |
| Golf course |
Northern fairways, greens and parking affected. Royal Fremantle Golf Club access overpass. |
| Property |
Impact on eight residential and one commercial properties (west end) - all but two are Government-owned. |
| Frontage |
Two property accesses closed and existing High Street becomes a service road |
| Side roads |
Closed |
| Construction |
Relatively uncomplicated |
