Path Network Plan

A section of the Beeliar Woodland Walks trail in Biyara

The Path Network Plan for the corridor was developed in close collaboration with the community and incorporates a system of well-defined paths, creating a link between Bibra Drive in the east and Southwell Crescent in the west.

The Path Network Plan offers a range of both formalised limestone tracks and sandy, informal tracks, utilising existing tracks. Several existing tracks have been identified for revegetation. The paths enable passive recreational use and provide the community with a space to enjoy the local biodiversity and cultural education.

Implementation of the plan is now completed. The first step was to connect the existing, wide limestone tracks around the perimeter of the Malvolio bushland in the Karak zone by formalising the eastern section of the existing central sandy track. Stage 2 linked Progress Drive to North Lake Road in the Djara zone. Stage 3 formalised paths in the Biyara zone, adjacent to Sebastian Crescent in Coolbellup. The final stage is in the Tuart zone, with a loop trail and connections to Phoenix Road, Forrest Road and Southwell Crescent in Hamilton Hill. In 2024 the trail was named Beeliar Woodland Walks, with QR codes on signage linked to a dedicated trail website.

Stage one of the implementation of the Path Network Plan included formalising the existing central sandy path in the eastern section of the North Lake Road West bushland. A narrow, compacted limestone path was installed along the existing alignment. Photo shows the site prior to implementation.

Invitations to participate in the Online Community Survey were displayed across the corridor and attracted 130 responses from the community.
Consultants from Tredwell Management facilitated a workshop with the Rehabilitating Roe 8 Advisory Committee in March 2021 to gather input into the Path Network Plan
