General Information:

State Route 60 is a major arterial route from the Perth CBD, through Perth's northern suburbs to the northwest coastal towns and villages north of Perth.

The route is a mix of suburban arterial road, divided multi-laned road and single carriageway roadway and passes through mostly commercial, residential and agricultural lands as well as vast tracts of pine plantations and state forests.

The route includes the slowly built Indian Ocean Drive, which is to extend SR60 from Lancelin to Cervantes via the coast. Its expected completion is 2011, with stage 2 to complete from the current SR60 terminus to Brand Highway in 2009. For additional information on Indian Ocean Drive, please click here. *
