Official Notice: Major Infrastructure and Roadway Obstructions

The City of Perth has issued a public notice regarding major infrastructure works and obstruction permits for the week commencing 2 March 2026. Residents and commuters are advised that several high-traffic zones remain subject to active management. Telethon Avenue remains closed to all vehicular traffic as part of a long-term infrastructure project scheduled to continue through August 2026. In East Perth, preliminary site preparations are underway for the 2025/26 Cool Roads Program, which will necessitate significant road closures later this month. Meanwhile, in the City of South Perth, work is progressing on the installation of a new pedestrian zebra crossing at the intersection of Anstey and Angelo Streets. Motorists should anticipate minor delays and are required to adhere to all temporary speed restrictions and directional signage.

Public Transport: Service Enhancements and Network Alerts

Transperth has confirmed several adjustments to the metropolitan transport network effective as of this week. To improve frequency and capacity, additional services have been added to bus routes 281, 350, 568, and 597. These enhancements are now active and aimed at reducing wait times during the morning and afternoon peak periods. Passengers on the Mandurah Line are urged to monitor live service updates following a technical disruption reported earlier this week. While regular services are being restored between Cockburn Central and Rockingham, travelers should allow for residual delays or potential reliance on replacement bus connections. Additionally, commuters who utilize Stirling Station are reminded that significant bus stand changes will take effect this coming Sunday, 8 March.

Health and Consumer Safety Advisories

WA Health and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) have released critical safety warnings for the public. An urgent electrical safety alert was issued on 5 March regarding the 'Light Ease' hexagon-shaped light kit previously available at Bunnings retailers. The state’s electrical safety regulator has warned that these units pose a severe risk of electric shock; owners must stop using the product immediately. Furthermore, a TGA safety advisory remains active regarding counterfeit weight loss products claiming to contain GLP-1. These unauthorized imports have been confirmed to contain unknown substances and should not be consumed. For vulnerable community members, the Australian Red Cross continues to facilitate phone-based welfare checks as part of the state's ongoing health and wellbeing initiative.
