Marmion Avenue Safety Review

What's happening

Following a thorough consultation process in 2021, which tabled more than 750 community suggestions about potential safety improvements on Marmion Avenue between Karrinyup Road and Ocean Reef Road, we have been assessing and analysing suitable suggestions.

We have based these potential solutions on feedback around the following areas of discussion:

• Access / intersection improvements, including safety improvements to intersections along Marmion Avenue;
• Differing road user groups along Marmion Avenue, including vehicles, buses, cyclists and pedestrians; and
• Infrastructure in the area, such as pedestrian crossings (including their current location and whether standards could be improved).

 What's next?

The proposed solutions are now ready to be canvassed with the community, as part of the project’s next round of consultation:

My Say Transport survey – Marmion Avenue Safety Review: Karrinyup Road to Ocean Reef Road

Similar to the first survey, it will be undertaken on My Say Transport. Consultation is open from 11 March and will close on 6 May 2024.

These proposed solutions have been developed in partnership with the Cities of Stirling and Joondalup, the Public Transport Authority and Department of Transport.

 Immediate Changes

As part of Main Roads’ continuous safe environment review, speed zone changes are being introduced across the Metropolitan area, Effective from 13 February 2023 the following changes were implemented:

• Karrinyup Road to Toowoon Way in Burns Beach/Kinross – the Speed limit is changed to 70 km/h.
• Aviator Boulevard in Clarkson to Brindebella Parkway in Alkimos – the Speed Limit is changed to 70 km/h.
• The remaining network along Marmion Avenue retains current Speed Limits of 80 km/h.
