Armadale Mayor Henry Zelones said these road maintenance projects are part of the City’s long-term plan aimed at meeting the needs of our rapidly growing community.
“Armadale is one of the fastest growing cities in the state, with an average of 10 people moving into the City every day of the year and 30 new homes being finished every week.
“The upgrade of road networks is aimed at meeting the needs of the expanding population and better catering for the influx of commuters regularly passing through the area.
“We are continually working with Main Roads WA to make local roads safer and improving the flow of traffic through the City Centre,” said Mayor Zelones.
