General Information:

State Route 83 is a major connector route in Perth's northern suburbs, especially for the suburbs at its eastern end. It provides a direct connection to several main roads leading to Perth's CBD and also the Mitchell Fwy (SR2), the main north-south route in Perth.

The route contains a mix of 2 lane and 4 lane divided roadway, and passes through farming, residential, industrial, commercial and bushland areas.

History:

• 2001: Channelisation intersection improvements at Eddystone Avenue and Whitfords Avenue at Craigie. Median and verge enhancement works on Whitfords Avenue from the Mitchell Freeway to Marmion Avenue. Construction of a new roundabout at the Corner of Whitfords Avenue and Northshore Drive. 2
• June 2007: Installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Gnangara Road and Alexander Drive near Landsdale. 3
• 2010: State Route 83 truncated at Landsdale and the section from Landsdale to Henley Brook replaced by State Route 84. Mirrabooka Drive extended to Ocean Reef Rd (SR84) and Gnangara Rd (SR84) and SR83 added to the new section of Mirrabooka Dr.

This page concentrates on the former alignment between Landsdale and West Swan, which is now part of State Route 84.
