The structure plan has provided for the broad linkages which
provide strong east-west movement predominantly using public
open spaces and north-south movement using the road network.

A key objective is to promote pedestrian and cycle links from the
existing residential areas east of the development area to the
beachfront, with green spine open spaces that promote the draw of
community through the project area for everyday recreation and
access to lifestyle amenity.
2.6.5.1 Regional network
From a regional perspective it is important to ensure that connection
to Fremantle and to suburbs east of the structure plan is maintained
and reinforced. Upgrade of the foreshore shared use path is likely
be required within the structure plan area in the future to cater for the
increased volume of pedestrians and cyclists likely to be using the
path.
Connections from Beeliar Regional Park to the east will also be
important, as will connection to Spearwood Avenue. Upon
reviewing the nature and form of the regional road network,
specifically the Roe Highway (Stage 8) reservation, opportunities
should be explored to reinstate an open space and pedestrian
connection between Clontarf Hill and Beeliar Regional Park. The
two sites are of particular significance to the local community and
attention should be paid to formalising access should the primary
regional road reservation be rationalised or realigned.
Creation of transit lanes on Cockburn Road for the BRT system will
present the opportunity to improve cyclist infrastructure along this
important spine of the development. Cyclists may be catered for
either through development of on-street lanes or within the transit
lanes. Further detailed examination is required to investigate the
most appropriate design solution for Cockburn Road in the future.
2.6.5.2 Local network
The diverse mixture of land uses within the structure plan area
creates excellent potential for local trips to be made either by
cycling or walking.
Where necessary within the structure plan, shared use paths can be
provided to facilitate cycling. Generally, cycling should be
facilitated through the appropriate design of local streets. Shared
use paths should only be provided where traffic volumes or other
considerations make on-street riding unsafe or undesirable.
