The Shire of Waroona is pleased to announce the completion of the next and final stage of the Recreation and Community Shared Path upgrades. This project was jointly funded by the State Government and the Shire of Waroona through the WA Bicycle Network Grants Program.
This initiative has enabled the Shire to enhance its shared pathway network along key routes, delivering improved connectivity and safety outcomes for the community.
The new pathway along McDowell Street provides a safer and more accessible route for people walking, wheeling or riding, by offering a designated pathway and removing the need to walk along the roadway. Locating the pathway on the northern side of the street further improves safety by separating pedestrians from residential driveways where vehicles frequently reverse, reducing the risk of vehicle–pedestrian conflicts.
This project supports Western Australia’s long-term cycle network, aiming to provide a continuous, seamless network that helps people to move around town in an active, environmentally friendly and cost-efficient way.
The Shire of Waroona is proud to deliver a network that gives locals and visitors more choice in how they get around. We’re committed to delivering future shared path upgrades where there are opportunities to do so. Continued investment in walking and riding infrastructure will help improve accessibility, connectivity and safety across the community, supporting active transport and encouraging greater use of shared pathways by residents of all ages and abilities.
