City officers are exploring ways to improve pedestrian crossing points along South Terrace and Marine Terrace in South Fremantle.

Share your experience, feedback, and local knowledge for this patch of South Fremantle. Your input will help the City determine the type of pedestrian enhancements that could be implemented along the street, subject to future funding.

At the Ordinary Meeting of Council held on 12 November 2025, Cr Jemima Williamson-Wong presented a petition, on behalf of South Fremantle resident Rupert McCracken, signed by approximately 900 residents and visitors, requesting the following: That Council install multiple zebra crossings in South Fremantle, to provide safe locations for pedestrians to cross South Terrace, Douro Road, and Marine Terrace. The petition was accepted by the Chief Executive Officer, to be addressed by relevant officers.

In response to this petition, City officers have developed this engagement program to capture your feedback and determine where new pedestrian crossing should be installed based on user behaviour, and the types of pedestrian crossings that would be allowed within the constraints of the local road as well as Main Roads WA guidelines. This could include interventions like zebra or wombat crossings; however, this has not been confirmed.

If you live, play or travel through this bustling section of South Fremantle, we want to understand the key movements, pinch points, and issues you face as a pedestrian in this local area.

Your feedback is important to ensure any future pedestrian crossings reflect the diversity of our community and cater to the needs of all pedestrians including older residents, people with mobility or vision impairments, parents with prams, school children and tourists.

It's important to note that any new pedestrian interventions in this area have yet to be funded. As part of the City’s financial planning process, all verified project proposals relating to traffic calming will be formulated into projects and programs of work for inclusion into the City’s forward works 10 Year Plan for consideration and approval as part of the annual budget process.

    The City's 2024-2034 Strategic Community Plan is the City’s most significant guiding document and establishes the community’s long-term aspirations and vision for Fremantle’s future. The Plan drives the City’s planning, budgeting, resource allocation and service delivery over the next decade, and was developed in direct collaboration with people who live, work, and play in Fremantle. This project meets a number of key focus areas set out by the community - most importantly that Fremantle is a Liveable City that fosters "socially connected neighbourhoods" and "is easy and safe for pedestrians and cyclists to move within neighbourhoods and between key destinations and precincts."

    Between November 2023 to February 2024 the City of Fremantle conducted a community engagement initiative for two key infrastructure policies - road safety and traffic calming - united under the campaign theme "Safe & Functional Streets". The Safe and Functional Streets Engagement Report, a culmination of vital contributions from community discussions and feedback, was unanimously approved at the Ordinary Council Meeting on July 24, 2024.

    The South Terrace Duoro Road project falls within the scope and direction of the City’s "Safe & Functional Streets” initiative, aiming to:

    • Enhance road safety for all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.
    • Reduce vehicle speeds to make streets safer and more attractive.
    • Improve the functionality of streets, which can include elements like efficient traffic flow and better accessibility for residents and businesses.
