21.01.2022 #Updates on #Tonkin Hwy/ #Forrest road #Intersection : Many questions were raised at the Technical Committee as a Councillor item about MRWA's proposal to restrict right turn movements from Forrest Road onto Tonkin Highway. Please find the few responses: 1. What impact of road serviceability on Hilbert and Haynes residents? Modeling carried out by MRWA indicates an increase in traffic volume on both Twelfth Road and Eighth Road by approximately 30% immediately following the ...intersection modification proposed by MRWA, being the banning of right turn movements from Forrest Road onto Tonkin Highway northbound. 2. What effects on other local roads, 12th, and 8th roads? Can these roads accommodate the increased volume? Both roads can accommodate the increase in traffic volumes immediately following the intersection changes, however, the level of service for the intersection of Armadale Road and Eighth Road is of concern. In the longer term, both Twelfth Road and Eighth Roads will be upgraded to a median divided road capable of higher traffic volumes. 3. Will it affect road safety due to increased traffic volume? As detailed above, the surrounding road network is capable of accommodating the increased traffic volumes that would result from MRWA's proposed intersection changes; however, to address the concerns noted above regarding the intersection of Armadale and Eighth Roads, the City has written to Main Roads to request signalisation of the Armadale Road and Eighth Road intersection to improve intersection safety. MRWA has advised they will consider the option as part of their internal planning. 4. What will be the possibility of signalled traffic control at the intersection? MRWA is currently investigating the feasibility of providing full movement signalisation of the intersection of Tonkin Highway and Forrest Road. Please send me an email if you have any concerns about this matter. [email protected]

20.01.2022 From Saturday, 14 November at 12.01am, Western Australia will transition to a safe and sensible controlled border arrangement based on the latest public health ...advice. Under WA’s new controlled border, the existing hard border exemption system will be removed and replaced with an updated nationwide health-based threshold that allows for safe travel into Western Australia from interstate with conditions, and subject to trigger points being met. The Chief Health Officer has recommended a 14-day rolling average of less than five community cases per day in each state and territory (a standard that is currently being met in each jurisdiction) is required before progressing to the new border controls. Travellers from interstate will be permitted entry to WA with conditions on arrival including a declaration, health screening and a possible COVID-19 test. Failure to follow these directions or providing false information will be enforceable by law, with penalties ranging from $1,000 infringements, to up to $50,000 fines for individuals.

17.01.2022 The Australian Red Cross is urgently calling for donors as the country faces a shortage of two of its most common types of blood, with supplies down to just two days. DETAILS: http://9Soci.al/bnCQ50Cme2p #9News | Nightly at 6.00pm

11.01.2022 JUST IN: I can now provide official confirmation that WA's hard border arrangements WILL transition to a controlled interstate border at 12:01am tonight. We alw...ays said we would wait until the very end before confirming the transition, based on infection rates over east. It is fantastic to see the rest of Australia do so well in defeating this virus - Victoria now has gone 14 days without community transmission, and New South Wales has gone six days. It’s particularly worth acknowledging the efforts and success in Victoria - what they have achieved, given where they were only recently, has been remarkable They have succeeded not just for themselves, but for the whole nation. As a result of this national success, Western Australia is ready to take the next step forward. Our controlled interstate border is a cautious and safe step - it’s a balanced, sensible approach. The time is right. But to be very clear, our border controls are NOT going away - every traveller will need to meet certain conditions to gain entry. That includes 14 days quarantine for travellers from NSW or Victoria as well as declarations, health checks and testing. Failure to follow these directions will be enforceable by law, with penalties ranging from a $1,000 infringement, up to a $50,000 fine for individuals. We know these ongoing controls won't be convenient. There will be delays at the airport. The process may be frustrating for many people. But if you are coming to WA, we ask for your patience and understanding. These controls are in place to protect everyone, including your friends and family here in WA - and they are all in place based on our expert health advice. Now, I understand many Western Australians might be nervous about these changes that’s understandable. But I want to reassure everyone that I wouldn’t be taking this step if we didn't have the health advice to back it up. The reality is that Australia has done a sensational job to be in the position we are in now. We have waited a long time to get to this point in fact our hard border has been in place for 222 days now. And over that time, I couldn’t be prouder of WA’s response as a whole. We have had no community transmission for more than seven months. And as we begin to operate in a new COVID normal, under our controlled border, we will be watching the situation over east very, very closely. If the health advice is there for us to reinstate the hard border, then I will not hesitate to do so. We have always been guided by the Chief Health Officer, and it has served us well as we have embarked on our own unique recovery, best suited to Western Australia. Today, National Cabinet endorsed our approach to contact tracing and outbreak control in Western Australia - which can give us confidence in knowing we are well prepared for an outbreak, if that was to occur. The stark reality is that the biggest threat facing WA is international arrivals - whether it be returning travellers by air or our maritime arrivals at our ports. Our systems to control these arrivals have been extremely successful, and our quarantine systems have worked effectively. But we won’t let our guard down. As we look around the world, we know that COVID-19 is circling Australia, and therefore, we cannot get complacent. Our hard international border must stay in place. Given where we are at in Australia, and our success in defeating the virus, we just cannot afford to take that risk.
