Belmont Park Redevelopment Project

What's Happening 

Work is underway until mid-2025 to upgrade the road network, and pedestrian and cyclist facilities adjacent to Belmont Park Racecourse and Graham Farmer Freeway in Victoria Park.

Closure of Victoria Park Drive over Graham Farmer Freeway – 22 to 24 April  

This major closure is required to undertake the project’s final asphalting works. Victoria Park Drive will be completely closed, over the freeway, between the following days:

• From 5am on Tuesday 22 April until 11pm on Thursday 24 April. The three-day closure has been approved to coincide with the Easter and Anzac public holidays, plus the school holiday period, as traffic volumes are expected to be lower.

For more information visit our Travel Map.

The closure will allow final resurfacing works to be completed at the intersection, plus a suite of other activities including directional drilling, drainage installation, kerbing, traffic signal modifications, brick paving, signal installation, and line marking.

Detours will be in operation, as outlined in the below detour map:

Local traffic access to Belmont Park

Local traffic changes implemented in Belmont and Burswood include:

• Goodwood Parade westbound from Victoria Park bridge being permanently closed.
• Saintly Entrance exit onto Goodwood Parade closed temporarily for intersection reconstruction, and
• Access to Belmont Park Racecourse, Racecourse car park and Burswood Point Development provided via Saintly Entrance and Seabiscuit Drive.

Please view the map below showing the new traffic changes.

Nightworks

Nightworks are continuing in April 2025 to enable modifications to the existing Victoria Park Drive Bridge. These works will include vehicle movements to and from site.

Nightworks will occur between 9pm and 5am, weather permitting.

Work hours and ongoing traffic management

In general, road and bridge works will be undertaken Monday to Saturday, between 7am and 7pm. Visit our Travel Map for the latest updates.

At times nightworks are occurring to reduce the impacts on road users, and facilitate access to the works site, weather permitting. Visit our Travel Map for the latest updates.

Graham Farmer Freeway speeds have been reduced in both directions to accommodate the changed road environment and allow for the safe construction of the new footbridge.

The works are being undertaken in accordance with approved Noise Management and Traffic Management plans. Work-related noise will be minimised wherever possible but may include machinery movements and operations (including reverse beepers).
