Wanneroo traffic program has 30 projects in pipeline through 2035/36
The Policy Review Committee adopted an updated traffic-management policy without changing the scoring system used to rank local-road requests. The City says its roughly $2 million annual program has enough identified work to extend into 2035/36.
Reporting from draft minutes. Recorded wording may change when confirmed. How this article was prepared
Thirty Wanneroo traffic projects have reached a score of at least 60 and are considered suitable for progression under a local-road program that the City says could continue through 2035/36 on current funding assumptions.
The Policy Review Committee unanimously adopted the revised Local Area Traffic Management Policy on 2 November, according to unconfirmed minutes. The review updates the policy’s template, authorities and accountabilities, dispute resolution provisions, references, terminology and technical guidance, while retaining the assessment methodology, scoring criteria and project-prioritisation framework introduced in 2024.
The Local Area Traffic Management Program is funded at approximately $2 million a year and covers investigation, design and construction for major and minor traffic projects. The minutes say the 30 projects identified in the current pipeline have achieved a Traffic Management Score of 60 or higher.
The supplied report text does not establish individual construction dates or funding commitments, and the project-priority attachment is not reproduced in readable form. The 2035/36 outlook is based on current allocations and delivery assumptions, while eligible projects may also be considered for State and Federal road-safety grants, including the Black Spot Program.
Historically, about one or two projects a year have reached a score of 60 or more and then progressed into the program. For residents seeking changes on local roads, the existing scoring and prioritisation system remains the basis for assessing requests, with the committee’s resolution recorded as carried unanimously, 8-0, in the unconfirmed minutes.
What deserves a closer look
The adoption motion in P128 is followed by its carried result in P129, establishing a recorded decision rather than an unadopted recommendation.
The eight names listed for the motion in P129 match the declared 8-0 result, with no members listed against it.
The 2035/36 statement is conditional on current funding allocations and delivery assumptions; it is not an individual project construction schedule.
Questions for follow-up reporting
Which of the 30 projects has funding committed in the current budget, and which remain subject to future budgets or grant applications?
What locations, scopes and expected delivery dates apply to the 30 projects scoring 60 or higher?
How will the City report when projects move from assessment into design or construction?
