Project update June 2025
Survey outcome and next step
From Tuesday 15 April to Thursday 15 May 2025, the local community was invited to have their say on the proposed plan for speed reductions from 50km per hour to 40km per hour on local residential streets and some local distributor roads. Consultation was undertaken via an online survey, question and feedback forms and postcards, or at two Subi Farmers Market listening posts.
Of the responses received via the online survey, 67 per cent were supportive of the reduced limits, and 15 per cent were neutral. Positive survey respondents highlighted benefits such as increased walkability, pedestrian safety (especially for children) and reclaiming the streets for community use.
Further feedback received at the in-person listening posts at Subi Farmers Market and postcards revealed that there is overwhelmingly positive support for the speed reduction proposal, especially for its potential to improve safety and walkability in the area.
Following a review of all community feedback, and a technical review of the proposed area-wide speed zones, the Perth Inner City Group will submit the proposal to Main Roads WA and the Road Safety Commission for consideration.
Consultation has now concluded. Please keep your eye on the news section of the City of Subiaco website for any project updates.
