What's Happening
The upgrade of Kwinana Freeway has reached an important milestone with Expressions of Interest (EOI) now open for industry. Read more here.
Planning and project development for the upgrade is now underway. Over the next 18 months we will be undertaking:
- Early design development for road, bridge, pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and drainage
- On site investigations, including identifying underground utilities, testing ground conditions and drainage
- Early concept development for urban landscape and design
- Environmental and heritage assessment to inform environmental processes and approvals.
- Procurement planning to prepare the project for construction.
Environmental referral
Main Roads referred the Kwinana Freeway Upgrade project to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) in August 2025.
DCCEEW invited public comment on the referral in September 2025.
Information included in the referral, along with any comments received, will be used to help the Commonwealth decide whether the project is required to be assessed in accordance with the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.Visit the DCCEEW Portal here.
