The Halls Head Shared Coastal Path has now compete, with an official opening coming soon.

In collaboration with the Department of Transport, the City of Mandurah is implementing a high-quality coastal shared path between Janis St in the south and Sharland St (Doddi's Beach) to the north.

This design for this shared coastal path was created following community consultation in 2020, and further consultation with residents regarding local parking areas. See the previous consultation summary in the consultation report.

This consultation confirmed two key areas of focus for the path including:

By connecting to existing paths along the coast, this project aims to improve safety for both cyclists and pedestrians by removing conflict areas with driveways and intersections experienced by path users on the existing concrete footpath on the developed side of the road. Improved amenities along the path also provide more activated spaces, encouraging our community to get out, get active and enjoy our beautiful coastal areas.

The sensitivity of the adjacent dunes was also considered in the design of the project and was a key area of interest expressed by our community in the initial consultation. To address this, areas of the path have been adjusted to move into the road and carparks in some areas, away the from dune. This also provides traffic management, addressing another key concern of local residents. Many areas of the path also travel through degraded or weedy areas which will be rehabilitated with native species once the pathway has been completed.

This path link has been identified as part of the City's big-picture plans to improve walkability and cyclability in Mandurah, particularly by providing a continuous connection along the island. See the Long-Term Cycle Network Plan.
