Rights of way are sometimes created on plans of subdivision to facilitate access to adjoining lots, but are not public roads. The majority of the ROWs created in this way in the early 1900s were held in private ownership by the original subdivider.
Privately owned ROWs are classified as private roads. Unless a ROW is owned by the City or the State of WA, they are not the City’s responsibility to maintain. The majority of private ROWs in the City’s district have gradually been acquired into the ownership of the State of WA in recent years for management by the City.
Unsealed ROWs can pose a number of issues for the City and residents living next to these ROWs. These may include:
- dust, nuisance and privacy concerns
- safety and security
- poor amenity (eg litter, weeds, illegal rubbish dumping, vermin)
- maintenance;
The City of Stirling’s Rights of Way Management Strategy sets out Council’s management intention for all ROWs according to their characteristics and strategic benefits.
ROWs that offer strategic benefits to the community are being upgraded with bitumen, drainage and lighting to form part of the public road network.
ROWs that are considered to offer minimal or no benefits to the community are being investigated for closure and disposal to the adjoining lots where possible.

The closure and amalgamation of a portion of the closed ROW into your property will increase your lot area, and may, in some cases, increase its development potential.
