The WA government has confirmed it will commit $4.5 million to complete the Munday Avenue Extension project in Pinjarra, which is expected to reduce heavy vehicle traffic through the centre of the town.
The project will provide a new link between Greenlands Road and Munday Avenue in Pinjarra, offering a more direct access to Pinjarra’s growing industrial area, particularly from South Western Highway and Forrest Highway.
Murray-Wellington MLA Robyn Clarke commented, “The current route for vehicles to access our industrial area is inefficient, forcing a lot of heavy vehicles through the centre of Pinjarra, which is located in the Peel region.
“This new link road will provide a more efficient way for vehicles, particularly heavy vehicles, to access the industrial area, helping to cut down on transport costs, while helping to remove heavy vehicles from the centre of Pinjarra.
The newly announced $4.5 million investment takes the WA government’s commitment for the project to $7 million, after an initial allocation of $2.5 million.
The project will be delivered by the Shire of Murray, with works expected to commence in coming months.
