Ellenbrook Local Area Traffic Management

The City consulted with the Ellenbrook community in February 2023 in relation to resident concerns around the increase in traffic in the area, particularly on Arbor Drive and Brookmount Drive. A local area traffic management study was undertaken to review these issues.

The Local Area Traffic Management Study has now been finalised. The City will be progressing with traffic calming measures along Brookmount Drive and Arbor Drive as a priority to address rat running behaviour on this route. Further information and consultation on these treatments with affected residents will follow in due course.

Please refer to the map below for a summary of some of the key improvements that are planned for implementation.

Construction Commencing - Arbor Drive raised safety platforms, Ellenbrook

Last year you provided feedback on the Ellenbrook Local Area Traffic Management consultation. The City will shortly commence the installation of new raised safety platforms at Arbor Drive, Ellenbrook. The work is being undertaken to improve traffic safety in this area.

The scope of this project includes installation of four new raised safety platforms. The new raised safety platforms will be positioned between Withnell Drive and Bancombe Crescent (two platforms), at the intersection of Arbor Drive and Birkett Circuit, and between Pym Lane and The Broadway.

Works will commence on Monday, October 7, 2024 between the hours of 7AM and 5PM and will be substantially completed within two weeks of commencement. The works may be extended in the event of inclement weather, contractor’s availabilities and/or unforeseen conditions.

To accommodate the works and to ensure the safety of the Construction staff and the general public, traffic management measures will be implemented while clearing, kerbing, and reinstatement works are completed. A full road closure of Arbor Drive will be implemented when the asphalt works are completed.
