Brooking Road, Parkerville Road Extension Project and Falls Road Bridge Replacement Project (Closed)
Posted: 13/05/2025 Closing Date: 17/06/2025 01:50 PM
Project Overview: The Brooking Road, road extension project is a key infrastructure initiative aimed at improving road connectivity, road safety and traffic flow in the Parkerville region. The project involves extending Brooking Road from where it currently ends at Owen Road through to connect with Richardson Road to create a more direct and safer route for residents and emergency services to use. This project assists by taking some traffic off the parallel route of Roland Road, Byfield Road and Seaborne Street with its high accident history resulting from the sharp horizontal and vertical curves.
The Falls Road bridge replacement project is required due to the age and condition of the timber bridge structure. The works will involve demolition of the timber bridge and construction of a new large pipe culvert crossing.
Project Objectives:
- Enhance road safety for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians of the area.
- Improve road connectivity and ease congestion.
- Provide better access for emergency services.
- Integrate water sensitive urban design practices.
Scope of Work:
- Extension of Brooking Road from Owen Road to link with Duncombe Road at Richardson Road.
- Construction of a new road with drainage measures to eliminate current erosion issues.
- Installation of traffic signage, lighting, and pedestrian pathways.
- A culvert crossing of Jane Brook designed to mitigate water erosion.
- New roadway drainage designed to capture rubbish and remove oils from stormwater runoff into Jane Brook.
- Tree clearing works approved with a DWER tree clearing permit to be offset with new plantings in close proximity and with some tree planting in a central median.
Project Timeline:
- Clearing Works May and June 2025
- Planting offset works commenced June to August 2025
- Falls Road timber bridge reconstruction as a new culvert crossing structure estimated to commence late 2025/early 2026
- Brooking Road Culvert crossing of Jane Brook estimated to commence late 2025/early 2026
- Brooking Road construction works estimated to commence mid 2026
Environmental Considerations: The project will be undertaken with a strong focus on environmental sustainability. Measures include implementing erosion control strategies and incorporating planting offsets for tree removal required to construct the works.
Funding & Budget: The project is largely funded by state government road infrastructure grants and partly by previous land subdivision contributions.
Plans: Plans of the proposed works can be viewed on-line via www.mundaring.wa.gov.au/consultations/ and clicking on the Infrastructure Projects, Works and Upgrades tab or by visiting the Shire Administration Office.
