What's happening
In 2024/2025 Main Roads engaged with local government, the Noongar community, landowners, Alcoa, and other key stakeholders, to carefully consider the Pinjarra Massacre Site alongside technical, heritage, environmental and social constraints.
The valuable feedback provided important local knowledge and perspectives to support the planning process.
This program of engagement has been documented in detail and will continue to inform planning for the future Pinjarra Heavy Haulage Deviation.
The project aims to provide an alternative route for heavy vehicles around the town that will:
- Improve safety for all road users on central town streets and heavy vehicle routes.
- Enhance amenity through the town for locals and visitors.
- Address traffic congestion in the town road network.
- Support socio-economic growth and facilitate integrated development in Greater Pinjarra and the South West Region.
