The City has appointed Civcon Civil to undertake road resurfacing and associated works from 24 July 2017 for a period of up to four weeks. These works will be undertaken during weekdays between the hours of 7am to 5pm.
The works will include the new kerbs, drainage, pruning of trees, concreting of driveway crossovers, ashphalting and sealing and irrigation modifications.
The preparatory works may need to be undertaken outside of these dates which can include kerb removal, capping of reticulation, and installation of signage and paint markings.
Access and Road Closures
Road closures will be required for the works to be successfully completed. During this time, detours will be in place.
Closures are planned to cease around 4.30 pm to minimise inconvenience, however please consider your commuting times during peak periods.
The operations team on site will endeavour to offer access to your property at all times but there may be short periods when materials are required to cure. On these occasions we will ensure suitable alternative arrangements have been discussed.
Kerbing & Reticulation
The kerbing is being upgraded to a new standard semi-mountable kerb. Whilst these works are being undertaken it may be necessary to temporarily re-route the reticulation to allow the works to proceed. If your reticulation is damaged during the process Civcon will make good the repair.
If you are a resident and/or a property owner, please ensure you test your reticulation system and report any faults to Civcon within two weeks of the works being completed, after this period Civcon cannot be held responsible for any repairs.
If you have any concerns in relation to this project, please contact the City's Project Manager, Rory Smith, telephone (08) 9273 3500. For operational enquiries, please contact the Civcon's Project Manager, Sean Connolly, telephone 0410 402 004.

City of Perth - The Avenue - Traffic Management Proposal - Time is running out to have your say

The City of Perth recently began a community consultation process regarding the partial closure of The Avenue between Princess Road and Broadway, which would effectively block through-traffic (except two-wheeled vehicles) (refer document library - Proposed Street Alterations - The Avenue - City of Perth). The survey started 19 June 2017 and closes on 7 July 2017 – but the City of Nedlands was not included in the initial survey distribution.
The origin of the proposal appears to be a petition lodged at the City of Subiaco in December 2015 by 12 petitioners in The Avenue. The issues raised were the quantity of traffic, including a high number of trucks and the impact existing parking had on road safety. The City of Subiaco sought a report but the impact of the City of Perth Act 2016 took precedence and the report was not completed.
It is the opinion of City of Nedlands Administration that closing The Avenue to the majority of through-traffic is an extremely excessive response to a marginal traffic issue. Adjustments to the Princess Road intersection (promoting reduced speed) and reviewing current parking prohibitions would be better options.
Please download and complete the survey (refer document library) and send to:
- GHD, Civil Roads Engineer, Transportation (Steven Wilson), by email to: steven.wilson@ghd.com
- Perth City Council, Graduate Traffic and Transport Engineer, Transport (Aaron Lee), by email to: aaron.lee@cityofperth.wa.gov.au
It would be appreciated if a copy could also be forwarded to City of Nedlands Technical Services Director, Martyn Glover, by email to: yourvoice@nedlands.wa.gov.au.You can also make comments on this page, see below.The City will be monitoring community feedback to ensure City of Nedlands' residents are represented in this process.

Street signage is progressing. This program is undertaken as part of the City’s maintenance programs to improve the visibility of the signage as well as providing consistency in design standards.
Areas of Mt Claremont are a focus as there is still signage that was installed by the Developer which has either faded or sustained damage making it difficult to see and read.
The program and program updates of works follows:
- Floreat: Completed
- Mt Claremont (Between Stephenson and Mooro Drive): Completed
- Mt Claremont (Between Mooro Drive and Alfred Road/Brockway): Completed
- Mt Claremont (Between Cottesloe Golf Course and Mooro Avenue): Underway
- Mt Claremont (St Peter’s Square): July 2017.
