Hester Avenue and Baltimore Parade Roundabout

The Public Transport Authority (PTA) will begin work next year to build a three-way roundabout at the intersection of Hester Avenue and Baltimore Parade in Merriwa.

The roundabout will allow for the reinstatement of the 483 Transperth bus service’s right-turn from Baltimore Parade onto Hester Avenue, which was diverted in July 2017 due to safety concerns. 

The new roundabout will:

• Improve the on-time running of the 483 service by two to three minutes on an average trip.
• Improve the reliability and legibility of the 483 service.
• Provide pedestrians with a safer alternative crossing option once complete.

The design process will start soon. Construction is expected to take six months.

View the Hester Avenue and Baltimore Parade roundabout fact sheet.

Once a tender has been awarded and construction methodology finalised, nearby residents and businesses will be notified of any potential construction impacts.

Community information session Wednesday September 19

In conjunction with the City of Wanneroo, the PTA will hold a community drop-in session about the new roundabout on Wednesday September 19. 

There will be no formal presentation. Residents can drop in at any time to learn more about the project, see early designs, and have their questions answered.

When: Wednesday September 19, any time between 4pm and 7pm

Where: Addison Park Club Rooms, 18 Addison Gardens, Merriwa
