The Town of Cottesloe has been working with Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) to investigate opportunities to create ‘Healthy Streets’ in Cottesloe.

In December 2023 residents were invited to participate in an online survey which looked at ways to create Healthy Streets in Cottesloe, focusing on Broome Street and Marmion Street (between Forrest Street and Grant Street). A concept development workshop was held in May 2024 to allow the community to provide input to determine a draft preferred design.

Council, at its July 2024 Ordinary Council Meeting, considered the feedback received from our community and noted a preferred Healthy Street design for both streets for further consultation. These identified a number of traffic calming treatments at mid-block and intersections to enhance safety and create a healthier environment for all users of Broome Street and Marmion Street.

Information from this stage of community consultation will be used to finalise a design concept to submit a funding proposal to Main Roads WA. Please note that this project will be largely funded by MRWA. Examples of traffic calming methods currently used in the Town of Cottesloe and in the City of Canning local government area are available in the Document Library.

Please share your thoughts on the Healthy Streets project via the online survey - https://cottesloe.engagementhub.com.au/cottesloe-healthy-streets.

If you would like to save a draft of your survey and go back to it at a later time please register for Engage Cottesloe and log in.

The survey is available to complete until Sunday, 29 September (11pm).
