- State Government to fund critical Pinjarra link road
- Munday Avenue Extension project will reduce heavy vehicle traffic in Pinjarra
- More direct link into Pinjarra's growing industrial area
- Funding allocation will help deliver the critical local road project
The State Government has confirmed it will provide $4.5 million in the upcoming Mid-Year Review to ensure the delivery of the Munday Avenue Extension project in Pinjarra.
The project was a commitment of the State Labor Government in 2021 and will provide a new link between Greenlands Road and Munday Avenue in Pinjarra.
The new road will provide more direct access to Pinjarra's growing industrial area, particularly from South Western Highway and Forrest Highway.
The $4.5 million investment takes the State Government's commitment to 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 the coming months.
As stated by Transport Minister Rita Saffioti:
"Right across the State, our Government is investing in infrastructure that boosts jobs, reduces congestion and drives local economies.
"We will continue to invest in these types of projects because our Government knows they make a difference to local communities."
As stated by Murray-Wellington MLA Robyn Clarke:
"The current route for vehicles to access our industrial area is inefficient, forcing a lot of heavy vehicles through the centre of Pinjarra.
"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.
"I am proud that our government will invest in making this project a reality."
