Reporting Street Lighting Faults

Each street light has its own unique number attached to the pole which helps identify whether the light is managed by the City or by Western Power. This information should be obtained from the light pole and provided before reporting street lighting faults.

The City is not responsible for repairing street lights owned by Western Power. If you wish to report a Western Power light pole fault, please use the contact details below:

Phone: 13 13 51 (general)
Phone: 1800 622 008 (street light faults)
Western Power Website (online form available)

If the pole is City maintained, please report on 9550 3777 or send us an email.

Residents intending to construct or arrange the construction of a vehicle crossing privately are advised that Council's contribution towards the cost will only be made if all the requirements of this specification are satisfied.

What is a crossover?

This is the part of your driveway between your property boundary and the City’s road. The landowner is responsible to build and maintain the crossover. The City may refund the landowner for part of the costs involved to build the crossover.

The landowner can only claim a crossover within 6 months of it being built or every 15 years and must provide proof of construction costs (receipts).

To find out what is required to build a crossover by clicking the specifications please use the information sheets below:

• Residential brick paved crossover requirements

• Commercial concrete or bitumen crossover requirements

Paths

Most paths are suitable for pedestrians only and cyclists are encouraged to use only designated bike paths. There are a number of shared paths in the city that encourage dual use for both pedestrians and cyclists. Any reports for a path in need of maintenance can be directed to the City via the contact us form.

Pedestrian access ways (PAW)

Maintenance

PAW’s are provided as a means for pedestrians to have easier connectivity and access between streets/areas and the City is responsible for maintaining these. Maintenance covers mowing, spraying, pruning and general rubbish removal every three months. There may, at times, be a requirement to carry out extra works for removal of rubbish or weeds and these requests can be made to the City’s Customer Services.

Closure of a pedestrian access way

All PAW closures require support from the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) as part of the closure process.
If you would like further information on the WAPC planning guidelines, closure of PAWs and also reducing crime and anti-Social behaviour in pedestrian access ways, please visit the Western Australian Planning Commission.

Fences adjoining public access ways

Fences that divide a property from a PAW are the responsibility of the property owner. If damage occurs due to a fallen branch or similar from the City’s property then please contact the City’s Customer Services.

Bus Shelters are installed and maintained by the City. To report vandalism/graffiti or to request a bus shelter, please complete a contact form.
