This is a question we have been asked by residents a number of times. If you have travelled south over the bridge and down through Dawesville and
Bouvard towards Lake Clifton, the answer is very clear. In 2021 the Mayor said in an interview: “Dawesville has experienced significant growth over the last
15 years, leading to increased demand for social infrastructure, community facilities and services – in fact, it’s projected that the current population will
double to 15,000 by 2036,”
3 years later, latest figures show that the population of this area is now expected to grow even more with a 40% increase in traffic volumes from this area.
The only way for people living in these areas to reach Mandurah and Perth is via the Mandurah Estuary Bridge.
You can view a map of these new developments on the WA Government website : Local Planning Information for City of Mandurah which shows the
areas yet to be built and their zoning. The majority of the work has already begun but more extensive house building is planned for Bouvard.

5.2.1 Old Coast Road Page 23 - Extract from Strategic Report 2006
“The ultimate long term scenario for the Study Area includes the following aspects that should be highlighted with regard to Old Coast Road:
•
This road being six lanes (three in each direction) between the Old Coast Road intersection and Seascapes Boulevard. The implementation of this
aspect of the study will require additional work on the Estuary Bridge …”
The WRA Bridge Sub-Committee were asked by the Transport Ministers Office to give every affected resident (those facing
Mandurah Road with no noise wall currently included in the plan) a vote on adding extensions to the planned wall.
We visited as many affected residents as we could contact in person and called or emailed those who were not available to
discuss with them the consequences of their vote and the options they had, we also showed everyone the drawings
Mainroads and Georgiou have provided so far.
Note: We excluded unbuilt blocks and AirBnB (where owners were not contactable)
The Results were as follows:
Waterside Drive of 28 homes, we collected 24 votes (86%) 24 Yes / 0 No (100%)
Waterlily Drive of 28 homes, we collected 22 votes (88%) 21 Yes / 1 No (95%)
Waterston/Arkley of 15 homes we collected 13 votes (87%) 13 Yes / 0 No (100%)
The results have been sent to the Ministers Office along with drawings and details of the noise wall extensions and changes the
residents are asking for. The next stage is for the Minister to decide if our request can go forward for costing and funding approval.
The process is outlined below:
