Arrangements are being made for the freight network review to commence later this year and there will be ample opportunity for community input. Unlike the previous Government, the Labor Government has acknowledged the environmental significance of the Beeliar Wetlands and hence our agreement to review the alignment of Roe Highway. (3) Roe Highway is located within a primary transport corridor that allows for the future provision of a rapid transit railway and a principal shared path for pedestrians and cyclists. The need to remove the reservation for Roe Highway can only be determined, pending the outcomes of the freight review and other necessary planning studies that are currently being undertaken.
