(b) since the traffic studies referred to in the WAPC Report indicate the eventual need for double grade separation, how much longer will the proposal remain as ‘a concept plan only’; and (c) what effects on amenity will take place in the intervening 20 year period as the Government acquires the land necessary for its implementation?
(c) what effects on amenity will take place in the intervening 20 year period as the Government acquires the land necessary for its implementation?
(b) A more detailed planning study is proposed in 2004/05 and will involve full stakeholder and community input. This will include investigation of possible opportunities to minimise the size of the intersection and the associated land requirements and impacts on surrounding properties. The future grade separation concept for this intersection is likely to undergo continuing refinement and will remain ‘a concept plan only’ until such time as there is an actual commitment to construction and a detailed design plan is prepared. (c) The timing of future upgrading of the Leach Highway/Stock Road intersection has not yet been determined. The Government has no intention of actively seeking to purchase land for this possible grade-separated intersection until it becomes an actual construction commitment. The affected land can remain in private ownership and use until that time. If there are circumstances of financial hardship, there are mechanisms available to the Western Australian Planning Commission to compensate the landowner or to purchase the affected land.

(a) The current Leach Highway/Stock Road grade-separated intersection concept is a different design than that illustrated in the ‘Assessment of the Fremantle Eastern Bypass and the Preferred Alternative – Summary Report’ (March 2003). This intersection design concept is currently considered to represent the largest intersection treatment that may be required in future at this location but is still subject to further investigation and refinement. The Western Australian Planning Commission is currently considering establishment of a Planning Control Area based on the current concept plan to protect the future opportunity to upgrade this intersection when required.
(b) A more detailed planning study is proposed in 2004/05 and will involve full stakeholder and community input. This will include investigation of possible opportunities to minimise the size of the intersection and the associated land requirements and impacts on surrounding properties.
