9. Regional Freight Network Plan
• FREIGHT: recognises WA’s strengths & differences,
emphasises industry as driver for regional transport
• NETWORK: Government’s role for planning, developing
and managing the network
– Strategic Network, Projects, Policy
– Principal Regional Freight Network (PRFN) -
comprises select primary routes and facilities
• PLAN: a definite, time driven, purposeful
– Network development – 5, 10, 20 year horizon
– More than a project list

1
Great Northern Highway around Meekatharra
Targeted road upgrades - Mitigate heavy and light vehicle conflicts on Muirs and South
2 Western Highways, upgrade Chester Pass Road, targeted upgrades to the Brand
Highway
Pilbara, Gascoyne and Mid West – Recognise expanded role for North West Coastal
3 Highway as a key freight corridor with the need for targeted passing lane opportunities,
high-wide load access, flood mitigation and (freight) driver amenity and rest areas
South West – Recognise expanded role for eastern corridor (Collie Highway and Collie
4 Brunswick rail line) as key freight routes with a need to upgrade rail capacity and
mitigate heavy and light vehicle conflicts
Mid West and Pilbara port capacity – Ensure capacity at Port Hedland and Geraldton to
5
cater for non-iron ore trades
Port connectivity – Improve port access roads at Port Hedland, Albany, Geraldton and
6
Bunbury
Land use planning – Secure adequate freight precincts with suitable governance
7
arrangements and defined operating arrangements
Heavy vehicle operations – Review location, size and condition of road train assembly
8 areas and parking bays. Consider locating major road train assembly yards closer to
Perth (Wubin, Northam and Carnarvon).
Heavy vehicle operations – Review Restricted Access Vehicle regime, particularly on
9 Great Northern Highway, North West Coastal Highway, Great Eastern Highway,
Kambalda (south) to port of Esperance
Heavy vehicle operations – Review heavy vehicle operating curfews at Swan Valley,
10
Muirs Highway, Esperance Port
Interstate corridor reliability – Ensure adequate capacity and reliability for Perth
11
Adelaide rail corridor and Great Eastern Highway
Pilbara rail - Define long term corridor requirements for Pilbara rail network, including
12
opportunities for open access rail lines (by infrastructure providers)

15. Metropolitan Freight and Intermodal Plan
The purpose of the freight plan
is to provide guidance and
direction to proponents and
decision makers on system
needs.
16. Metropolitan Freight and Intermodal Plan
Perth and Peel Regions
• 18,600 ha of land zoned urban
• 2.2 million population by 2031
• Most primary freight routes in place
• Most secondary freight routes in place
• Ports – existing, others planned
• Rail – single freight corridor
• Industrial areas – projected growth in land needed
17. Metropolitan Freight and Intermodal Plan
Ports FREMANTLE PORTS INNER HARBOUR AND OUTER HARBOUR
Future growth in the bulk products trade is Fremantle Inner Harbour will continue to grow over the next 10
anticipated years to its anticipated capacity of 1.2 million TEU per year

19. Metropolitan Freight and Intermodal Plan
The plan will:
• Assess the existing freight network and the main transport requirements
across the Perth and Peel regions.
• Show how freight moves across the network now, and how freight is likely
to move in the future.
• Provide an indication of major new transport links, and possible staging of
developments.
• Plan and protect strategic road and rail links, particularly between major
industrial estates, intermodal facilities and ports.
• Promote integrated planning outcomes that provide an accessible, safe
and efficient freight transport system.
• Promote land use and transport systems that facilitate economic
development.
• Cover a 20 year planning horizon to 2031.
20. Metropolitan Freight and Intermodal Plan
Specific Issues to Consider
• Freight transport into and out of the North West Urban Corridor
• Freight route connections to and from public and private ports in the
Cockburn area
• Key metropolitan entry/exit points, such as Great Eastern Highway, South
West Highway/Tonkin Highway and Great Northern Highway/Perth-
Darwin Highway
• Nodal congestion points, such as the Kewdale/Forrestfield freight precinct
• Managing congestion impacts and capacity on key arterials routes
• Encroachment into key transport corridors
• Achieving overall lower cost freight movements and lower externality
costs
• Over the longer term, the potential re-shaping of the region’s freight and
logistics supply chain to reflect changing
21. Metropolitan Freight and Intermodal Plan
North-West Sub-Region
• Additional dwellings (2031) =
65,000
• Labour force (2031) = 85,000.
• Green fields land available =
9,600 ha.
• Significant residential growth and
limited industrial land.
• Limited opportunity to use rail to
move freight.
• Site identified for possible
intermodal terminal.
22. Metropolitan Freight and Intermodal Plan
Nodal Congestion – example – Kewdale Area
• Serviced by major arterial roads
heading in all directions
• Strategic location for the airport
• Major freight / logistics hub
• Improving traffic flow and reducing
congestion at intersections

24. Metropolitan Freight and Intermodal Plan
Next Steps
• Extensive consultation, engagement and seeking comment and feedback
on likely system needs, trends and growth by late 2011.
• This work will comprise:
– Detailed understanding of freight market characteristics and trends.
– Demand forecasting.
– Identifying areas of traffic congestion – general and nodal.
– Understanding future supply chain requirements.
– A better understanding of the demand for, and function of emerging
and proposed freight precincts such as Latitude 32 and Perth Airport.
– A better understanding of emerging technologies to drive more
efficient use of the existing freight network.
– A better understanding of local commercial transport operator
requirements.
25. Public Transport Network Plan
By 2031 public transport will account
for:
• One-in-eight of all motorised trips
(currently one-in-fourteen)
• One-in-five motorised trips in the morning
peak period (currently one-in-eight)
• Over 30% of the peak hour distance
travelled (currently around 20%)
• Nearly 70% of all trips to the CBD
(currently around 47%)
26. Public Transport Network Plan
A Three-Tier System…
To provide an efficient and competitive mass
transit system, Perth will need a three tier
network of services:
1. Trains – Primary mass transit service
2. Road based “rapid transit services”
– Frequent services operating all day
– Full priority over general traffic
– Functional stations up to 1 km apart
– Legible network – easy to understand
– Larger capacity vehicles
– Convenient interchanges for transfers
3. Regular bus services – local coverage and
feeder services to main transport spines
27. Public Transport Network Plan
A network of services that are:
• Legible
• Fast and reliable
• Comfortable
• An attractive alternative for private trips
The Network:
• Five railways, plus spur lines to Thornlie
and Perth Airport
• Inner City Light Rail (40km)
• Bus priority infrastructure to create rapid
transit routes (180 km)
28. Public Transport Network Plan
