Jandakot Road, Jandakot

The City of Cockburn is committed to upgrading Jandakot Road to accommodate the growing number of vehicles using the road and to improve safety for road users and pedestrians. The project involves significant modifications to the vertical and horizontal alignments of Jandakot Road which will improve the level of service and site visibility. 

The duplication of Jandakot Road is taking place in three stages, with stage one and two completed. Stage three is in the early planning process.

Rockingham Road (between Phoenix Road and Spearwood Avenue)

The 2009 Phoenix Central Revitalisation Strategy identified the upgrade and beautification of Rockingham Road within the town centre as a key project to create a more attractive town centre environment by improving safety for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and residents who seek access to the town centre. The proposal is to reduce Rockingham Road to one lane in either direction between Coleville Crescent and Phoenix Road, and reduce the number of right turn access for vehicles by installing raised median islands and three new roundabouts. The design will create a enhanced town centre environment, moderate driver behaviour as the speed limited will be lowered to 40kmph, and will also divert heavy regional traffic away from Rockingham Road to either Stock Road or Cockburn Road.

The upgrade of Rockingham Road between Coleville Crescent and Phoenix Road is an important initiative for Spearwood to help improve the Phoenix Town Centre in response to longstanding community and business concerns regarding the safety and appearance of the road. The Rockingham Road upgrade was identified as a key action of the Phoenix Central Revitalisation Strategy, adopted by Council in 2009.
