AN elected Coalition government will invest $3 million to fix two of Perth’s most dangerous intersections on Great Eastern Highway at Greenmount and Parkerville.

The funding will be directed to two high-risk intersections at Scott Street in Greenmount and Seaborne Street in Parkerville.

Nationals candidate for Bullwinkel Mia Davies said the coalition would work with the Shire of Mundaring to upgrade priority intersections, including at Scott Street and Great Eastern Highway which was ranked Perth’s sixth riskiest last year by the RAC.

“When I talk to residents across Bullwinkel they have raised these intersections on the Great Eastern Highway as serious safety concerns and Labor simply hasn’t listened. The coalition will get the job done,” Ms Davies said.

“This is about delivering safer roads for families, for freight, and for emergency services. It’s a practical investment that will save lives and improve daily life for the hills community.

“The Scott Street intersection was ranked Perth’s sixth riskiest for a reason – locals drive it every day and know just how unsafe it is. Under a Coalition government, we’ll make these blackspots a priority.”

Liberal candidate for Bullwinkel Matt Moran said the high frequency of accidents along Great Eastern Highway means urgent action is needed.

“I grew up travelling along Scott Street and Great Eastern Highway and have seen too many near misses – it was time for action,” Mr Moran said.

“For years, the Albanese government has ignored calls for action. That’s why the Coalition is stepping up to deliver the upgrades our local community needs.

“I’ve fought hard to see urgent action taken to improve this intersection and to push for a new easterly connection from Scott Street to Great Eastern Highway to improve safety and traffic flow,” Mr Moran said.

In Swan View, the Nationals candidate for Bullwinkel Mia Davies has pledged $5 million toward upgrades to facilities at Brown Park.

Ms Davies said the well-used recreation precinct had outdated facilities that were no longer meeting the demands of local sporting or community groups.

“The Shire of Mundaring came to me with plans for upgrades to enable greater community use of facilities and cater for growing numbers in local sporting clubs,” Ms Davies said.

“There are both junior and senior competitions and all are at capacity in terms of space and numbers.

“It’s also home to Binar Futures, an Aboriginal sporting organisation that encourages Aboriginal youth to build positive futures for themselves, their families, communities, and culture through sport.”

Ms Davies said the funding would assist the shire to deliver stage two of the Brown Park Recreation Precinct Plan, which included a new pavilion, works to the oval and landscaping at the site.

“Brown Park is an important community facility to more than 8,000 Swan View residents, and a catchment area of double that amount,” she said.

“It’s an important meeting place, supporting sporting and community groups to build connections and cohesion in the area.

“Encouraging participation in sport and recreation is obviously great for our health, but also incredibly important when communities are tackling crime and antisocial behaviour.”

Ms Davies said the power of sport was proven and the aim was always to engage as many children as possible to build confidence, work toward goals and stay on track.

“New facilities at Brown Park will support volunteers and clubs to continue to build their membership, expand their programs and encourage everyone who wants to get involved to contribute,” she said.
