Past Consultations

For the past 10 years the Shire of Dandaragan has progressively been reconstructing Dandaragan Road to an 8-metre seal from Brand Highway to the Shire's of Dandaragan/Moora boundary.

After completing approximately 25kms of reconstructed road through Council municipal funds and State Government funding via the Wheatbelt North Regional Road Group and State Black Spot program, the Shire has now developed a concept plan to reconstruct Dandaragan Road through the Dandaragan town centre.

The proposed project is reliant on grant funding and Council's annual budget adoption process and is planned to commence in September 2025 for the road reconstruction component through the town centre, however the proposed new footpath and underground drainage components are reliant of external grant funding to progress. 

The Shire is currently seeking community feedback on the design concept plan to help shape the final project outcomes and a hard copy of the concept plan is on display at the Dandaragan Community Recreation Club or can be found here for review.

Feedback or questions relating to this proposed project can be forwarded via email to council@dandaragan.wa.gov.au, or by contacting the Shire’s Executive Manager Infrastructure, Brad Pepper, on (08) 9652 0800.
