ALBANY HIGHWAY - SPEED LIMIT NOW 40kmh

Please be advised that MRWA have installed speed restriction signage on Albany Highway and the Speed limit along Albany Highway from Shepperton Road to the Causeway has now been reduced to 40kmh. 

OUTCOME OF CONSULTATION - Albany Highway Speed Zone Change

Part of Albany Highway will now become a 40km/hr speed zone. On 23 March 2010 the Town of Victoria Park Council endorsed Main Roads WA’s proposal to reduce the speed limit. This change will be implemented and monitored by MRWA and is anticipated to be completed by the end of June 2010. 

The community consultation process was completed in mid-February. The Town wishes to thank all those who provided comments on this proposal during this time. The area affected by the reduction of the speed zone on Albany Highway is between Armagh Street, Victoria Park and Welshpool Road, St James (see map below). This area will be reduced from the current 50km/h down to 40km/h. The street system will remain unchanged.

It is anticipated that residents, businesses and visitors to the Town can look forward to the benefits of a safer and more vibrant Albany Highway.

 Get Involved in Bringing the Town Centre Vision to Reality

A Masterplan for the Town Centre was developed by Hocking Planning and Architecture in 2000. Since that time the Town has been in discussions with Hawaiian (the owners of the Park Shopping Centre) to progress the objectives of the plan. In 2007 the Town and Hawaiian signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the development of a Structure Plan for the area. We are now seeking your input into the process. To assist you in participating in this important plan we have placed attachments (refer column on the right) such as: a copy of the 2000 study; and extract from the minutes of a Council meeting dealing with this issue and a questionnaire. Please review the attachments and complete the questionnaire. By completing the questionnaire you will be placed on a data base allowing us to keep you informed and, if necessary, you will be invited to a workshop/s as the project progresses.
