- Advanteering Civil Engineers to build walkway and bridge across John Forrest ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Park’s Glen Brook
- Works expected to be completed by early 2025
- Part of the Cook Labor Government’s continued investment in WA’s natural attractions
The Cook Labor Government is continuing to rejuvenate John Forrest ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Park with a $5 million contract now awarded for an accessible walkway and bridge across Glen Brook.
Advanteering Civil Engineers will build the structure, which will offer visitors stunning views over the surrounding granite outcrops, Jane Brook and Glen Brook, and the Railway Reserve Heritage Trail.
It will also allow visitors to walk or cycle between the new West Ridge car park, expected to be completed by early 2025, and the future Park Hub.
Construction is due to begin early next year and is expected to be completed by mid-2025.

“The Cook Labor Government wants WA’s environment to be open and accessible, and that’s exactly what we’re doing with these improvements to John Forrest ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Park.”
As stated by Kalamunda MLA Matthew Hughes:
“This is the vital link between the parking and the park.
