Subiaco Street Upgrade Needs More Cash | Australia News
Description
Subiaco’s long-awaited Rokeby Road upgrade is finally nearing a decision, with the council set to vote on awarding the contract to BOS Civil next week — but it’s not all smooth sailing. Originally budgeted at $3.6 million, the project now needs an extra $884,000 to cover safety improvements, better pedestrian crossings, and outdoor seating for local businesses. This isn’t just about looks — it’s about tackling a dangerous blackspot. Skipping the upgrade could damage the council’s reputation for delivering on promises, and delaying likely won’t save money. The council faces three tough choices: fund the project, re-scope to cut costs, or walk away — each with serious consequences.
