THE City of Mandurah thanked the Mandurah Traffic Bridge Replacement Community Reference Group for the important role it played in development of the new bridge at a celebratory lunch today.
The reference group was established to ensure the community was well represented in the project and included community representatives, key government agencies and industry and non-government organisations.
It played a crucial role in helping the State Government understand the community’s priorities in achieving road transport solutions to the increasing traffic congestion in and around Mandurah.
