Footpath Upgrades - Ecclestone Street (between Hands Avenue and Winton Street)
The City of Bunbury is replacing the footpath on Ecclestone Street, between Hands Avenue and Winton Street.
This work is part of our ongoing program to install new paths connecting neighbourhoods, parks and other important destinations across Bunbury, giving residents more options for walking, jogging and cycling and supporting a healthy and active lifestyle.
Works are scheduled to run from Monday, 28 September to Friday, 16 October 2026.
Road closures will be in place between Winton Street and Hands Avenue for the duration of the works, from 7am to 5pm daily. Please follow all on-site signage during construction, for your safety and the safety of our crews.
We understand road closures can cause inconvenience and appreciate your patience while these important upgrades are completed.
The City apologises for any inconvenience and thanks you for your understanding as we work to improve accessibility while maintaining the character of your area. We look forward to completing this upgrade so you can start enjoying it. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact John Pow or Andrew Grelck on 08 9792 7333 or by email at engineeringdesign@bunbury.wa.gov.au
Footpath Upgrades - Ocean Drive (between Stockley and William Street, residential side)
As part of the City of Bunbury's ongoing work to provide safe and connected communities, we will be expanding the footpath along the residential side of Ocean Drive, connecting the network between Stockley Street and William Street.
The design drawings can be accessed below.
Alternatively, contact the designer for this project via the contact details below.
Work is expected to start Monday, 12 October 2026 and take 3 weeks to complete.
A number of factors are considered by our team when deciding on the most appropriate path alignments, including the most desirable path of travel, existing services within the potential path alignment, minimising impact on trees and vegetation, engineering design standards and topography.
Here's a few points on what residents can expect during construction:
- Where the footpath impacts on residential reticulation, the reticulation will be reinstated to pre-construction condition upon completion of the project.
- Driveways impacted by the construction will be repaired or adjusted during the construction, matching pre-construction materials (like-for-like replacement).
- To the best of our ability, reasonable access to driveways will be maintained during construction.
- Traffic management will be in place during the work, as necessary.
The City apologises for any inconvenience and thanks you for your understanding as we work to improve accessibility while maintaining the character of your area.
