Infrastructure Updates

WestCycle is regularly in touch with State Government departments, local governments and the project teams delivering transport infrastructure upgrades in the Perth Metropolitan Area and around Western Australia.

To keep riders in the loop, we regularly share updates on infrastructure upgrades and disruptions to the path network, as well as calls for community input into bike plans, strategies and project designs.
