Welcome to the South Metro Connect website. South Metro Connect, comprising Main Roads and industry partner AECOM, is nearing the end of the project development phase of the proposed Roe Highway Extension to link Roe Highway at Kwinana Freeway in Jandakot to Stock Road in Coolbellup.

Our Aim is to work collaboratively with the community to identify the best design and alignment option within the project boundaries that will respect the local environment and still be able to meet the growing traffic demands and associated social issues within the rapidly expanding southern corridor.

The preferred concept design forms the basis of the Environmental Impact Assessment that is subject to both the state and commonwealth approval process.

The public comment period for submissions on the Roe Highway Extension Public Environmental Review closed on 12 September 2011.

It is anticipated that approvals and clearances required for construction to commence will be obtained by early 2012. However, timing for construction is dependent on funding.

Within this site you will find information about the project, including:

• Information on the preferred concept design for the project as identified in collaboration with the community and stakeholders
• Information on the project area
• The Environmental Assessment process that is required for this project, including information on the Public Environmental Review (PER)
• General information on the project, including information sheets, frequently asked questions and documentation from the community engagement process.
