Mindarie, Western Australia - Transport

Transport

Marmion Avenue is the only north-south arterial road that directly links Mindarie to the Perth metropolitan area in the south, as well as the outer northern suburb of Yanchep. Connolly Drive and Wanneroo Road can also be accessed via Hester Avenue, north-east of the suburb. Neerabup Road in the south-east of Mindarie is expected to become an entrance to the Mitchell Freeway, once the freeway is extended to Clarkson from its current terminus at Currambine.

Anchorage Drive South, Rothesay Heights and Bellport Parade act as the main backbone distributor roads throughout Mindarie. Anchorage Drive was initially planned as the suburb's singular arterial ring road, entering Mindarie from Marmion Avenue in the south, looping through the suburb and exiting back onto Marmion Avenue 2 kilometres further north. However, the Mindarie Keys Joint Venture later decided against fully completing the road due to the barrier it presented to inland residents, instead landscaping 700 metres of the reserved road as part of the adjacent Lighthouse Park. Although the landscaped parkland section is still gazetted as a road reserve, traffic studies performed on behalf of the City of Wanneroo in 2001 showed no need for the road to be completed.
