The South Terrace, Douro Road roundabout area of South Fremantle is in need of resurfacing, traffic calming modifications and pedestrian safety enhancements. We'd like to hear from you.

Share your feedback, suggestions, and ideas on the road modifications and pedestrian safety enhancements that are being considered for the area.

The City has received funding from the Metropolitan Regional Road Group (MRRG) to resurface key segments of road in South Fremantle, including the busy intersection of South Terrace, Douro Road and Marine Terrace. This area connects the community to South Beach, North Coogee, Wilson Park, cafes, shops, hospitality venues and other amenities and has been flagged by the community and the City as an area of high priority for road safety amendments.

In addition to the road resurfacing, City officers from the City's Infrastructure team have devised a proposed concept for the area that aims to prioritise pedestrian safety and accessibility, encourage slower speeds and enhancing the streetscape. To improve safety for pedestrians and road users, as well as to promote active transportation, the proposed design includes the creation of formalised, compliant pedestrian crossings and refuges on Marine Terrace, Douro Road and South Terrace, footpath widening and new curbing adjacent to the roundabout. These works are designed to calm traffic and create visible, safe and formalised crossings for pedestrians, as well as create opportunities for new native plantings, street trees and community infrastructure to welcome locals and visitors into the Wilson Park/South Beach precinct.

If you live, play or travel through this bustling section of South Fremantle, we want your feedback, suggestions and ideas on the road modifications and pedestrian safety enhancements that are being considered.

To view the concept plans for the project area of Douro Road, Marine Terrace and South Terrace and learn more about the proposed modifications, please consult the FAQ & Key Documents section below.
