Morts Road closure extension and proposed realignment
The Shire of Boddington is seeking community feedback on South32 Worsley Alumina’s request to extend the closure of Morts Road until 30 April 2029 and support a revised road realignment.
The proposal relates to South32’s plan to transport ore by conveyor instead of trucking, which it has advised would reduce noise and dust on haul roads. If approved, the realignment would separate Morts Road from the proposed conveyor corridor, and remove the need for an underpass and overpass.
The Shire is seeking feedback as the request represents a material change from the previous reopening timeframe. This consultation relates to local road access and the proposed timeframe for public access. It is not related to mining approvals.
Feedback closes 4pm Monday, 15 June 2026.
