BRIEF Unconfirmed minutes record that the City of Wanneroo Policy Review Committee adopted an updated Local Area Traffic Management Policy by 8-0 on 2 November 2026. The policy keeps the existing scoring and prioritisation system. The City identifies 30 projects scoring at least 60 as suitable for progression through its approximately $2 million annual program, with enough identified work to support delivery through 2035/36 under current funding allocations and delivery assumptions. KEY FACTS - The unconfirmed minutes record that the Policy Review Committee adopted the revised Local Area Traffic Management Policy on 2 November 2026 by a vote of 8-0. - The review made administrative, governance and editorial changes and retained the existing assessment methodology, scoring criteria and prioritisation framework. - The Local Area Traffic Management Program is currently funded at approximately $2 million per year. - The City identified 30 projects with a Traffic Management Score of 60 or more as suitable for progression. - The City says current funding allocations and delivery assumptions support the identified pipeline through to 2035/36; the supplied report text does not establish project-specific construction allocations. ANALYSIS OF THE RECORD - 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?

"The current LATMP and Management Procedure were approved by Council at its meeting 8 October 2024, Item No AS02-10/24 refers. This report provides details of minor amendments. Detail The Local Area Traffic Management Policy has been reviewed to ensure it remains aligned with the City's current policy framework, corporate requirements and relevant industry guidance.

The revised Policy maintains the existing assessment methodology, scoring criteria and project prioritisation framework introduced through the comprehensive review adopted by Council in October 2024." (Item 5.3, Background and Detail) The program is currently funded at approximately $2 million per year and covers investigation, design and construction activities. The City identifies 30 projects with a Traffic Management Score of 60 or higher as suitable for progression through the program. "Accordingly, no substantive changes have been made to the Policy during this review. The framework supports the development and delivery of the Local Area Traffic Management Program, which is currently funded at approximately $2m per annum and supports the investigation, design and delivery of both major and minor traffic management projects. The program includes feasibility investigations, detailed design and construction activities, together with the progression of projects already identified through the Local Area Traffic Management assessment process. The City currently has 30 projects that have achieved a Traffic Management Score of 60 or greater and are considered suitable for progression through the Local Area Traffic Management Program, as provided in Attachment 4." (Item 5.3, Comment) The City says the identified pipeline can support delivery of traffic-management projects through 2035/36 based on current funding allocations and delivery assumptions. "Based on current funding allocations and delivery assumptions, there is a sufficient pipeline of projects currently identified, to support the delivery of Local Area Traffic Management projects through to 2035/36." (Item 5.3, Comment — pipeline outlook) Historically, approximately one or two projects each year have achieved a Traffic Management Score of 60 or greater and subsequently progressed into the program. "Historically, approximately one to two projects each year have achieved a Traffic Management Score of 60 or greater and subsequently progressed into the Local Area Traffic Management Program." (Item 5.3, Comment — historical project progression) Eligible projects may attract State and Federal road-safety funding, including through the Black Spot Program. The City says it will pursue grants where projects demonstrate sufficient merit against the relevant funding criteria. "As the City continues to receive requests for investigations, it is anticipated that additional projects will continue to be identified over time. In addition to annual municipal funding, eligible projects may also attract external funding from State and Federal road safety programs, including the Black Spot Program. Where projects demonstrate sufficient merit against the relevant funding criteria, the City will continue to pursue grant funding opportunities to assist in accelerating project delivery and maximising community benefit." (Item 5.3, Comment — external funding) The minutes record that the committee adopted the revised Local Area Traffic Management Policy by a unanimous vote of 8-0.
