Perth City Deal - Roe Street Enhancement 2021-2023

As part of the Perth City Deal CBD Transport Plan, the highly anticipated upgrade to Roe Street commenced construction at the end of May 2021, with a scheduled completion mid 2023. 

The upgrade, completed by appointed contactor Civcon and in collaboration with DevelopmentWA, will facilitate the upgrade of critical infrastructure and revitalised streetscapes.

The completed project will complement the Perth City Link development, reconnect the Central Business District with Northbridge and facilitate regeneration of the area. While the entire project will be constructed by Civcon, DevelopmentWA and the City of Perth will be responsible for delivering two separate projects (referred to as 'Package A' and 'Package B').

The projects have been delivered simultaneously to minimise disruption, with a coordinated approach being taken to complete the infrastructure upgrades (Package A) prior to the street beautification project (Package B) and will be completed in sections over various stages.

Please note that there will be pedestrian and cycle path detours in place.

Update as of 25/05/2023

Roe Street is now fully open. Two-way traffic has been reinstated, dedicated cycle lanes are operational, and traffic signals are in now place at Lake Street and Melbourne Street. New signs and pavement markings have been installed to make all road-users aware of the changed traffic conditions.

The contractor is currently finishing some landscaping and defect items and will be fully demobilised from site by early June.
