Over $80 million funded in the budget for the Nicholson-Garden flyover
The Roger Cook WA State Government and Albanese Federal Government are investing over $80 million to construct a flyover at the Nicholson Rd roundabout.
This will greatly improve the daily transport needs of our community by easing the traffic congestion and providing a smoother commute for drivers and families.
I would like to thank Federal Member for Tangney Sam Lim, Federal Member for Burt Matt Keogh, and all the people who helped champion this for our community in the Southern River area.
I am very excited to be delivering this commitment for our community, and this builds upon other projects currently being constructed by the Cook Government including the Ranford Road Bridge and Metronet Thornlie-Cockburn Link
Thank you again for everyone for their patience, and we have just passed another big Milestone with the Nicholson Flyover project (but I know the Palm Trees haven’t been removed yet)
As part of this project the intersection will be widened significantly at the cnr of Nicholson/Wilfred/Bannister which will affect the Entry walls at Tom Bateman Park.
As a further update Western Power are ready to commence the Sinking of the Power Lines at the Roundabout from Jan 2027 and then the Palm Trees will be removed not long after.
Significant works have been progressing as promised since 2025 for the Nicholson Garden Flyover – the relocation of gas & water services have begun, and the extended Pedestrian underpass (under the existing over rail bridge) has opened as promised to allow the wider Flyover bridge to be placed over the top.
Thank you again to Matt Keogh, Sam Lim, Colleen Egan, Stephan Pratt and the Council and all levels of Govt for working together to get this done.
More updates soon.
