Shaping the Future of Perth’s South East

Roadworks Today, Connections Tomorrow

If you’ve driven through Mundijong lately, you may have noticed the hum of machinery and the sight of new works taking shape. It’s all part of the Tonkin Highway Extension and Thomas Road Upgrade — a major infrastructure project that’s about to make life at Taylor Springs even more connected.

For our community, these works aren’t just about roads and bridges. They’re about easier mornings, safer trips, and quicker journeys to the places that matter most.

The Tonkin Highway Extension will deliver a brand-new 14 km dual carriageway running from Thomas Road all the way through to South Western Highway. For Taylor Springs, this means:

• A Bishop Road Interchange: A grade-separated interchange and new rail bridge at Bishop Road will make it simpler — and safer — to get in and out of the estate. This is set to be one of the key access points for our community.
• Mundijong Road Connection: A new roundabout at Mundijong Road will ease traffic flow and connect you directly into the Kwinana Freeway, opening up smoother links north and south.
• South Western Highway Access: A roundabout here will reduce congestion and provide another efficient way to reach the highway, giving you direct routes whether you’re exploring more of the Serpentine Jarrahdale region or heading down South.

Right now, Perth’s south-east corridor is busy with trucks and through-traffic heading to and from the Wheatbelt and South West. These upgrades will take the pressure off local roads, creating safer streets for families and a faster trip to work, school, or the shops.

For future Taylor Springs residents, it means the best of both worlds:

• The calm of a semi-rural lifestyle surrounded by nature.
• The confidence that you’re just minutes from major connections like Tonkin Highway and South Western Highway.

The works happening today are laying the foundations for a more connected tomorrow. By the time you move into Taylor Springs, you’ll find it easier to reach the city, the airport, and nearby job hubs — while still coming home to quiet streets and open spaces.

Because Taylor Springs isn’t just a place to live. It’s a place to belong — and to feel confident that the future is heading in the right direction.
