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

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.
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.

The City will be monitoring community feedback to ensure City of Nedlands' residents are represented in this process.

Share Annual Bushland Weed Spraying Program on Facebook Share Annual Bushland Weed Spraying Program on Twitter Share Annual Bushland Weed Spraying Program on Linkedin Email Annual Bushland Weed Spraying Program link

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.
The annual spraying program is being undertaken by Contractors from July through to October 2017 to control environmental weeds in the following bushland areas:
- Shenton Bushland
- Allen Park
- Hollywood Reserve
- Birdwood Parade
- Point Resolution
- Mount Claremont Oval Reserve
- Mount Claremont Community Centre
- Swanbourne Estate
The City will be focusing on the control of bulbous weeds, and annual and perennial grass weeds using the herbicides listed below:
- Metsulfuron-methyl: used to control bulbous weeds
- 2 2-DPA (Dalapon): used to control bulbous weeds
- Glyphosate: used in conjunction with metsulfuron-methyl to control bulbous weeds
- Fusilade: used to control annual and perennial grass weeds.
Signage will be displayed whilst these works are occurring.
For further information, please contact Vicki Shannon, the City's Environmental Conservation Coordinator on (08) 9273 3500, or email vshannon@nedlands.wa.gov.au

The City undertakes environmental weed control to improve biodiversity values and to reduce the negative impacts environmental weeds that weeds cause to the ecosystems, for example they compete with the native plants, thereby reducing the species and diversity for both flora and fauna. Environmental weeds causes erosion, alters water availability, changes soil nutrients, increases the likelihood of bush fires, and changes the vegetation communities within the reserves.

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.
