The Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale welcomes today’s road safety election commitment from the State Government.

Premier Mark McGowan and Transport Minister Rita Saffioti committed a future Labor Government to $18 million to widen and upgrade the following three key roads in the Shire:

- Kargotich Road;
- Orton Road; and
- Soldiers Road.

Shire President Michelle Rich said as the fastest growing local government in WA, we have almost two new families moving to our Shire every day.

“To meet the growing needs of our Shire, we have a comprehensive list of priorities endorsed by Council which aims to maximise investment from all levels of government across a range of priorities,” Cr Rich said.

“These roads were identified by the Shire as the top three priorities for upgrade.

“Road safety consistently rates as one of the highest community needs, as our ageing road network is not suitable for increased traffic.

“Your Council continues to work hard in advocating for community needs with all parties contesting the State Election, so we continue to grow a safer road network, together.”

Other Shire priorities for the WA State Election include a Nature Play Splash Park in Byford and Trails development in Jarrahdale.
