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).
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.

A safety review is underway to inform future improvements to Marmion Avenue between Karrinyup Road and Ocean Reef Road.
The review will consider a number of factors, including safer access at all intersections, shared paths and improved access to public transport and amenities in the area.
