Safe and Functional Streets

The City of Fremantle is conducting a community engagement initiative for two key infrastructure policies:

• Traffic Calming Policy (Council Item: FPOL2306-6)
• Narrow Streets, Safe Access Policy (Council Item: FPOL2306-5)

While these policies are separate, they are interconnected, and to streamline our approach, we're uniting them under the "Safe & Functional Streets" engagement campaign.

Our Engagement Program's Objectives

The Safe & Functional Streets engagement program aims to achieve the following for the City and its residents:

• Raise awareness and educate the community about both policies.
• Enhance the City's communication and engagement on matters related to Traffic Calming and Narrow Streets.
• Clarify the distinctions between traffic issues and traffic calming.
• Create opportunities for an in-depth understanding of challenges and the co-creation of effective solutions with the public.

How You Can Participate

We value the input of our community, as you are the ones directly affected by issues related to narrow streets and traffic. We encourage you to get involved by:
