Federal and state funded projects set to boost local economy
City of Swan 25 May 2021

The City of Swan community will reap the benefits from new road projects in the region, thanks to significant funding commitments from the State and Federal Government.

City of Swan Mayor Kevin Bailey said the City welcomes the commitments to strengthen transport infrastructure in the local region.

“In particular, the $112.5 million build of grade separated intersections of Altone Road and Daviot Road-Drumpellier Drive on Reid Highway will provide significant benefits to the community,” he said.

“Community members will notice shorter commutes, allowing them more time to spend at home with their families.

“In addition, the project is expected to generate more than 1,500 jobs.”

Mayor Bailey said he anticipated construction would commence in 2022 and would wrap up in 2025.

"These projects are essential to support our growing community, with the City’s population set to grow by 91 per cent between now and 2051.”
