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.

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.

The swings will be temporarily removed to ensure the safety of users whilst the replacement process commences. The site will be temporarily fenced off whilst removal works are underway.

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

Lancelin Maintenance Dredging Campaign - Recommencement

The Shire of Gingin has received a further update from the Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure that the dredging works at Lancelin will commence on Saturday 7 November, with mobilisation and delivery of the dredge to be undertaken this week.

The dredging works will be undertaken in an area adjacent to the Lancelin Jetty, with dredged sand to be deposited on the foreshore in the vicinity of Harold Park (near the Lancelin Sands Hotel).

Please note, Gingin Road between Shell Street and the Lancelin Sands Hotel in Lancelin will be closed for one day on Monday 2 November between 7:00am and 5:00pm.

There will be a section of beach north of the jetty requiring temporary closure this weekend 31 October - 1 November to enable pipe works to be undertaken, full beach access will be reinstated after the weekend.

For further information, please contact the DTMI via dredging@transport.wa.gov.au.

Upcoming Works - Weed Removal (Century Plant)

Please be advised that Century Plant weed management works on Dewar Road will soon commence from mid-November through to December (weather permitting).

Century Plant (Agave americana) is an extremely hardy weed species which if left unchecked will spread prolifically, out competing all native vegetation, degrading habitat, and farmland.

Currently there are numerous clumps of these weeds that are spreading along the roadsides and are threatening to spread into farmland. The Shire will be mechanically removing this species and disposing of them to prevent further spread.

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

Mulching Works - 3 Bridges Walk Trail

Please be advised that mulching works along the 3 Bridges Walk trail will commence on Tuesday 10 October and will take approximately one week to complete.

These works will reduce the height and cover of weedy grasses and remove the woody weeds (such as Tagasaste and Olives) that have grown along the trail. The work will lower the fire risk posed by vegetation on the trail whilst also decreasing the risk posed by snakes.

Please note that in the interest of public safety the walk trail will be closed to the public whilst the mulching is ongoing.

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

Grace Darling Park - Car Park Repairs

Please be advised that works to repair the carpark at Grace Darling Park are scheduled to commence on Monday 30 November and are expected to take approximately one week to complete.

For the duration of these works access to the carpark will be restricted. Alternative parking is available along Cunliffe Street. Temporary traffic management signage and directions will be in place.

Upon completion of the carpark repairs, the Edward Island Access Track will be reopened 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.
