A short section of the Perth to Fremantle Principle Shared Path (PSP) between Thomas Street and Campbell Street, West Perth will be temporarily closed between 9am and 4pm for approximately five days commencing 14 July 2008.

The closure is required to allow tilt-up concrete panels to be erected on a work site abutting the PSP near City West Station.

Falling concrete tilt-up concrete panels have caused several deaths on Western Australian work sites and as a result pedestrians and cyclists will not be allowed within the potential drop zone while lifting work is underway.

The PSP will be open during peak hours to minimise disturbance to commuters, but between 9am and 4pm pedestrians and cyclists will be asked to detour via the local path and road network on surrounding streets.

A photo/map of the area impacted can be found on the Department for Planning and Infrastructure website.

The Shires of Mundaring and Kalamunda, in conjunction with the Department of Environment and Conservation, have engaged Ecoscape to develop a Local Trails Master Plan for the Mundaring and Kalamunda regions.

The purpose of the plan is to create a safe and functional recreational resource for all trail users. Users include runners, walkers, horse riders, cyclists and people with disabilities.

Ecoscape now seeks input from people who use the trails. We would appreciate your feedback by completing a survey. This is a great opportunity for you to have your say on local and regional trails.

Hardcopies of the survey can be obtained from the Shire Administration Office, Mundaring and Greenmount Libraries or downloaded here.

For further information on the trails master plan please contact the Manager Recreation and Leisure Services on 9290 6682.
