South Mole Community Consultation

South Mole will re-open to vehicles soon, following a period of public consultation.

Fremantle Ports CEO Jodie Ransom said vehicles would be allowed back once a range of works were completed to prevent illegal camping on the mole.

South Mole was closed to the public in March but is currently open to pedestrians and cyclists.

“We consulted widely, received a range of views and they’ve been carefully considered in our decision. I want to thank the public for their valued feedback,” Ms Ransom said.

Ongoing work with Wilson Parking to install signage and parking meters to facilitate reopening has commenced. Parking will remain free for three hours, as it was previously on South Mole, however the introduction of timed parking will be one initiative adopted to help control illegal camping.
