Works in Progress

Weld St Bridge Replacement

Works to replace Bridge 661 over the Gingin Brook on Weld Street which began after the Easter Long Weekend and are scheduled for completion towards the end of 2026.
Main Roads are managing the project and have contracted Fulton Hogan to do the bridge works.
During the works :
  • There will be a single lane closure on the bridge which will cause minor delays. Traffic lights will be manually managed by a Traffic Controller.
  • The rest area to the south of the bridge will be partially closed. There will be no restrictions to the access of CU@Park Café. IGA is still accessible via Brockman St entrance.
  • The footpaths on both sides of the bridge will be closed for the duration of the project. However, the footpath near the weir will remain open to ensure continued public access.
  • Construction noise and dust will be generated throughout the duration of the works.
Please be assured that Main Roads and Fulton Hogan will do everything possible to minimise impacts.
For general enquiries and complaints, contact Main Roads on 138 138 or email wheatbelt@mainroads.wa.gov.au.

Survey Works - Road Condition and Asset Survey Works

Please be advised that road condition and asset survey works will be taking place across our sealed road network over the coming weeks.

For the duration of these works, specialised vehicles will be travelling throughout the area to capture pavement condition data, road surface assessments, and images of road assets.

What to expect:

  • Survey vehicles driving throughout the Shire
  • Equipment mounted on vehicles capturing road data and images
  • There will be no disruption to traffic, but please drive carefully around the survey vehicles

These surveys help us plan future maintenance and ensure our roads remain safe and well-maintained for everyone.

We thank the community for your understanding and patience while these important works are carried out.

Temporary Removal of Swings - GOAS

Please be advised that works to the remove the swings at the Gingin Outdoor Activity Space (GOAS) are scheduled to commence today, 3 September. We have undertaken an inspection of the playground and found rotten wood resulting in the swings no longer being safe for public use.

Further updates will be provided as the project progresses. We thank the community for your understanding as we prepare to deliver these works.

 

Upcoming Works

Lane Closures in Lower Coastal Area for Pipeline Works

Water Corporation's authorised contractor, DM Civil, is currently constructing a 7.4-kilometre pipeline from the Sovereign Hill tank (off Sovereign Hill Drive) to Guilderton. This important project will help improve the reliability and quality of the local water supply.

To complete the works safely, a series of temporary lane closures will be required. Please visit this article for more information and the lane closure schedule. 

Tree Replacement - Robinson Street, Gingin

Following damage to the Water Corporation pipeline, investigations have identified that three Sheoak trees on Robinson Street require removal to protect the underground infrastructure.

These works are expected to be completed within the next 2 weeks. The removed Sheoak trees will be replaced with suitable low-invasive native tree species within the affected area.

The Shire appreciates the community’s understanding and cooperation while these essential works are undertaken.

Upcoming Works - Verge Spraying

Please be advised that the Shire’s annual verge spraying program will commence on Saturday 12 September and will take approximately 2-3 weeks to complete.

For the duration of these works, Traffic control measures will be in place. Motorists are asked to exercise caution and follow all traffic control directions when travelling through the work zones.
