submitted to the Minister for Transport for final approval. It is anticipated that the <strong>of</strong>ficial<br />
funding <strong>of</strong>fer will be made to the <strong>Town</strong> by May 2013. A further report will then be presented to<br />
Council seeking approval to accept or reject the <strong>of</strong>fer and advise Main Roads WA <strong>of</strong> the<br />
decision.<br />
Council has previously considered reports on the traffic signals and intersection modifications<br />
for Project 1. Howtree Place/Brookdale Street/<strong>Cambridge</strong> Street/Oceanic Drive and Project 2.<br />
The Boulevard/Howtree Place and approved the proposed works. It is therefore considered<br />
expedient for detailed designs be commenced early in 2013 to allow sufficient time to schedule<br />
specialist contractors to carry out the required electrical works within the 2013/2014 financial<br />
year.<br />
The proposal to install a roundabout at the intersection <strong>of</strong> Keane Street and Ruislip Street has<br />
not been subject to public consultation and it is recommended that this be carried out prior to<br />
the anticipated receipt <strong>of</strong> the Black Spot Funding <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />
The proposed installation <strong>of</strong> traffic islands in Crosby Street does not impact directly on any<br />
adjoining residences and it is considered that community consultation is not required.<br />
It is requested that approval be granted for these projects to be included in the 2013/2014 draft<br />
budget for consideration by Council, the initiation <strong>of</strong> the public consultation process for the<br />
proposed roundabout construction and the commencement <strong>of</strong> detailed designs for the traffic<br />
signal and intersection modifications.<br />
POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:<br />
The recommendations in this report are in accordance with Council Policy to improve the road<br />
safety and amenity in the district where practical. Main Roads WA approval will be required for<br />
traffic signal modifications and pavement markings and signs installation.<br />
