Hutton Street Extension

The City is currently designing the extension of Hutton Street through to Walters Drive. 

Background

On 5 January 2018, Amendment 1291/41 to the Metropolitan Region Scheme was gazetted which reserved land for an extension of Hutton Street from Scarborough Beach Road through to Jon Sanders Drive.

The City undertook investigation into the feasibility of extending the road in either one stage directly to Jon Sanders Drive, or in two stages being initially to Walters Drive and then finally to Jon Sanders Drive. The Western Australian Planning Commission has recently acquired the land required for the extension to Walters Drive.

The extension of Hutton Street aims to improve traffic flow in the area by reducing congestion on Scarborough Beach Road and other roads in the immediate network. Hutton Street will play an increasingly important role in the transportation of freight between Osborne Park and broader region.

In June 2024, the road south of Scarborough Beach Road was named Mineral Road. Please refer to the map below for the extent of Mineral Road.

Project update (June 2025)

The detailed design of the Hutton Street extension has achieved the 85% design milestone. The earlier 15% design was endorsed by Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) as part of the Traffic Signal Approval Policy (TSAP) Stage 2. The 85% design has since been accepted by the City, and a funding application has been submitted to MRWA.

Once the 100% detailed design is completed, it will be submitted to MRWA for TSAP Stage 3. Following all necessary approvals, the design will be Issued for Construction (IFC).

The timing for construction and opening of the road remains subject to funding contributions from the State Government.
