Component summary
This component entails initiating a road closure on the northern end of Giblett Street to block off what is essentially the northern entry into the town centre. A new northern entry point has been created off South Western Highway, at Blechynden Street, using a roundabout and appropriate signage to direct traffic into Giblett Street. Graphite and Ralston Street intersections have been rationalised to improve road safety and the redeveloped Manjimup Timber and Heritage Park will effectively become the new northern entry statement to the town centre.

Stage two
Work on this component is complete. As well as the realignment of the Graphite Road/Ralston Street entry point, these elements were planned in conjunction with the relevant State Government agencies, such as Main Roads
