It's speed limit is 80 Kilometres/Hour, 70 Kilometres/Hour Past Hester Avenue. It is '''State Route 71'''. It is a Highway Grade road, being Dual Carrdigeway the entire way through, and of two lanes each way until the last few kilometres. It Generally tracks a kilometre or two in from the Coastline, being an important link to [[Fremantle, Western Australia|Fremantle]] and to the outer northern suburbs.

'''Marmion Avenue''' is a {{convert|40|km|adj=on}} arterial road in the northern coastal suburbs of [[Perth]], Western Australia, linking [[Trigg, Western Australia|Trigg]] in the south with [[Yanchep]] in the north. It forms part of [[List of road routes in Perth, Western Australia#71|State Route 71]] along with [[West Coast Highway, Perth|West Coast Highway]], which it joins onto at its southern terminus.

==Route Description==

[[File:Marmion Avenue (S from Burns Beach Rd).ogv|thumb|View south from Burns Beach Road]]

Marmion Avenue is part of State Route 71, from the southern terminus to [[Yanchep Beach Road]], continuing on from West Coast Highway. It commences in [[Trigg, Western Australia|Trigg]], traveling generally parallel with the Indian Ocean coastline, and the other north-south arterials [[Mitchell Freeway]] and [[Wanneroo Road]], through mostly residential areas and some undeveloped land north of [[Currambine, Western Australia|Currambine]], and terminates in [[Yanchep, Western Australia|Yanchep]]. Marmion Avenue is managed by Main Roads Western Australia after previously being managed by the [[City of Joondalup]] from Ocean Reef Road to the City of Joondalup-Wanneroo boundary, and the [[City of Wanneroo]] for the rest of the road.<ref>{{cite web|title=Metropolitan Roads Controlled by Main Roads Western Australia|url=https://www.mainroads.wa.gov.au/OurRoads/Facts/Pages/MetropolitanRoads.aspx|website=Main Roads Western Australia|accessdate=25 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Main Roads Survey Portal|url=https://mrapps.mainroads.wa.gov.au/publicmaps/surveyportal|website=Main Roads Western Australia|accessdate=25 June 2017}}</ref>

The speed limit for most of Marmion Avenue was previously 80km/h but was updated in February 2023 with new policies stating the maximum speed through traffic signals is 70km/h

===Trigg to Currambine===

Marmion Avenue starts as a four-lane dual carriageway as a continuation of [[West Coast Highway, Perth|West Coast Highway]], at the traffic light controlled intersection with [[Karrinyup Road]] in the [[City of Stirling]]. From there, Marmion Avenue travels north for {{convert|1.8|km}}, past the Hamersley Public Golf Course and the residential areas of [[Trigg, Western Australia|Trigg]], [[North Beach, Western Australia|North Beach]] and [[Karrinyup, Western Australia|Karrinyup]], before intersecting with the western terminus of [[Reid Highway]] and the western section of [[North Beach Road]]. Then, Marmion Avenue travels for {{convert|1.5|km}} past the Star Swamp Reserve to the west and the residential area of [[Carine, Western Australia|Carine]] to the west, before intersecting with [[Beach Road, Perth|Beach Road]], and crossing over into the [[City of Joondalup]].

Marmion Avenue then travels north through residential suburbs for {{convert|6.6|km}}, having traffic light controlled intersections with [[Warwick Road]] and [[Hepburn Avenue]], before passing [[Westfield Whitford City]] shopping centre, near [[Whitfords Avenue]]. Marmion Avenue continues north through residential areas, intersecting with [[Ocean Reef Road]], [[Hodges Drive]], [[Shenton Avenue]] and Moore Drive, and passing by Currambine Central Shopping Centre, before intersecting with [[Burns Beach Road]].<ref name="Google Maps"/>

===North of Currambine===

North of Burns Beach Road, Marmion Avenue passes through {{convert|1.9|km}} of residential areas, before crossing into the [[City of Wanneroo]] and travelling through {{convert|1.6|km}} of undeveloped land in [[Tamala Park, Western Australia|Tamala Park]]. Marmion Avenue provides access to the Tamala Park Rubbish Disposal Site. Marmion Avenue then travels through the [[Clarkson, Western Australia|Clarkson]] – [[Butler, Western Australia|Butler]] region for {{convert|9.6|km}}, intersecting with Neerabup Road, [[Hester Avenue]] and Lukin Drive; the former two intersections also connect with discontinuous sections of Anchorage Drive — “south” and “north”, respectively.

Marmion Avenue then travels northwards through the recently developed suburbs of [[Alkimos, Western Australia|Alkimos]] and [[Eglinton, Western Australia|Eglinton]], providing access to current and future developments. After {{convert|8|km|0}}, Marmion Avenue reaches the outer suburb of [[Yanchep, Western Australia|Yanchep]] at a large roundabout with [[Yanchep Beach Road]].<ref name="Google Maps"/> North of the roundabout, Splendid Avenue branches off eastward to a local sporting ground while Marmion Avenue, now a two-lane road, provides both access to newer residential development in the suburb and to [[Yanchep railway station]] via a roundabout with Botanic Boulevard. As of 2024, the road currently terminates at a T-junction with Toreopango Avenue.

==History==

Marmion Avenue was first created as an arterial road that tracked the then new northern suburbs of Perth. Its namesake, the suburb of [[Marmion, Western Australia|Marmion]] is where the road started in the Late 1960s. It was single carrdigeway until the early 1980s, when it was linked to the [[West Coast Highway]] and dualled up to Whitfords Avenue. It was gradually extended as a Single Carrdigeway road as the northern suburbs grew. It was initially an arterial road between suburbs, extending from Warwick Road to Mullaloo Drive. It was then extended to Ocean Reef Road, Shenton Avenue, Burns Beach Road and then in the Mid 1990s fully extended to Quinns Rock. Marmion Avenue was completely dualled in [[2001]], with the last bit being the empty stretch between Burns Beach Road & Quinns Rock.

[[Image:MarmionAvenueKMSign.png|thumb|220px|Approximate road distances (in kilometres) of coastal suburbs from Trigg onwards.]]

It has always being an important road for people living in the northern suburbs, as it is the main arterial for northern coastal suburbs up to [[Joondalup, Western Australia|Joondalup]] and the main road above [[Joondalup, Western Australia|Joondalup]]. It is generally reffered to by locals as just "The Marmion" or as "Marmion Av".

Marmion Avenue was first built as an arterial road that tracked the then-new outer northern suburbs of Perth, following the limit of the Perth metropolitan area as it expanded northwards. In the late 1960s, the road originally began at [[Beach Road, Perth|Beach Road]] in [[Marmion, Western Australia|Marmion]], giving the road its namesake.

==Future Extensions==

At Present, Marmion Avenue is long overdue to be fully extended & completed. It was due to be constructed as a single carridgeway to [[Yanchep, Western Australia|Yanchep]] in [[2004]]. The extended stretch will finish at the large roundabout at [[Yanchep Beach Road]] This is now due to be completed in Late [[2006]] due to approval delays.

Until the early 1980s, the road was a two-lane single carriageway connecting the coastal suburbs of Marmion and [[Mullaloo, Western Australia|Mullaloo Beach]]. In 1984–85, the road was extended southwards to [[Karrinyup Road]] where it joined seamlessly onto [[West Coast Highway, Perth|West Coast Highway]], which had been realigned further inland around the same time. Now the most important road in Perth's coastal suburbs, Marmion Avenue was duplicated up to [[Whitfords Avenue]]. In early 1986, it was assigned '''State Route 71''', and from then on was gradually extended as a single carriageway road further north – extending first to Prendiville Avenue (just north of [[Ocean Reef Road]]), to [[Burns Beach Road]] in 1991 and to Quinns Road in the mid-1990s. Marmion Avenue was finally duplicated to its terminus in 2001, with the last portion being the empty stretch between Burns Beach Road & Quinns Rocks.

The completion will allow the future [[Satelite City]] of [[Alkimos, Western Australia]]/[[Eglinton, Western Australia]] to start construction. Currently the extension is being delayed due to government bickering of what route the road should follow. This extension will be done all in one go and at finish will have no intersections past its present terminus, just serving as a link to a growing [[Yanchep, Western Australia|Yanchep]]. Extensions after this are possible to [[Two Rocks, Western Australia|Two Rocks]], however there are no plans for this at present.

In 2000 and 2001, [[Reid Highway]] was extended as a two lane road from its terminus at [[Mitchell Freeway]] to Marmion Avenue, providing another link to the east.<ref>{{cite web|title=Work on Reid Highway extension to start soon|url=https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Court/2000/09/Work-on-Reid-Highway-extension-to-start-soon--Minister.aspx|website=Media Statements|accessdate=25 June 2017|archive-date=25 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230425091830/https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Court/2000/09/Work-on-Reid-Highway-extension-to-start-soon--Minister.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref> This section was later upgraded to a four-lane dual carriageway in 2015–2016.<ref>{{cite web|title=Reid Highway Widening – Duffy Road to Marmion Avenue|url=https://www.mainroads.wa.gov.au/BuildingRoads/Projects/UrbanProjects/ReidHwyWorks/Pages/ReidHwyMarmion.aspx|website=Main Roads Western Australia|accessdate=25 June 2017}}</ref>

==Major Intersections==

Marmion Avenue starts at the end of [[West Coast Highway]] at the [[Karrinyup Road]] intersection in [[Trigg, Western Australia|Trigg]], and currently ends at the [[Kingsbridge Boulevard]] & [[Jindalee Boulevard]] Junction in [[Butler, Western Australia|Butler]]/[[Jindalee, Western Australia|Jindalee]]. All Major intersections are controlled by traffic lights, or in some cases very large roundabouts.

After delays due to disagreements at State Government level about what route the road should follow, Marmion Avenue was extended further north to [[Yanchep]] and opened to traffic in November 2008. The extension opened as a single carriageway, but earthworks have already been undertaken to enable conversion to dual carriageway at a later date, which eventuated starting from 2018. The extension also features roundabouts at future major junctions. The completion of this extension allowed the future [[satellite city]] of [[Alkimos, Western Australia|Alkimos]]/[[Eglinton, Western Australia|Eglinton]] to begin construction.<ref>{{cite web|title=Skyview WA|url=http://www.landonline.com.au/skyviewwa/content/asp/skyviewwa_index.asp?product_group_id=78|website=Land Online|publisher=Department of Land Information, Western Australia|access-date=6 March 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031201191235/http://www.landonline.com.au/skyviewwa/content/asp/skyviewwa_index.asp?product_group_id=78|archive-date=1 December 2003|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Marmion Avenue Extension|url=http://www.rjvincent.com.au/p33/marmion-avenue-extension/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080719193022/http://www.rjvincent.com.au/p33/marmion-avenue-extension/|url-status=dead|archive-date=19 July 2008|website=RJ Vincent & Co|accessdate=25 April 2012}}</ref>

In 2016, the existing Marmion Avenue / Mullaloo Drive intersection was upgraded from a non-signalised t-junction to a roundabout in response to a ranking as the 39th Worst Intersection. Pedestrian paths were re-aligned, off-road cycling paths were added, [[Western Power (networks corporation)|Western Power]] light poles were upgraded and crash barriers were installed to protect residents and pedestrians.<ref>{{cite web|title=Marmion Ave And Mullaloo Drive Upgrade|url=http://www.smarttransportwa.wa.gov.au/project/marmion-avemullaloo-drive-intersection-upgrade/|website=Smart Transport|accessdate=24 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Marmion Avenue / Mullaloo Drive Intersection Upgrade|url=https://www.mainroads.wa.gov.au/BuildingRoads/Projects/CompletedProjects/2016/Pages/marmionave.aspx|website=Main Roads Western Australia|accessdate=24 June 2017}}</ref>

As part of Main Roads Western Australia's Traffic Congestion Management Program, Marmion Avenue's intersections with Hepburn Avenue and Whitfords Avenue were upgraded during 2016 and 2017 to improve traffic flow and safety. Between 2010 and 2015, there were 249 crashes at both of these intersections combined, and 72,000 vehicle use both these intersections per day. This project was funded by the state government, and cost $12 million. Longer and additional turning lanes were added, pedestrian and cycling facilities were upgraded, traffic signals were upgraded and power lines were put underground. CCTV was also installed so that Main Roads can monitor traffic flow. Construction started in November 2016 and finished ahead of schedule in May 2017.<ref>{{cite web|title=$12 million upgrade for Marmion Ave intersections|url=https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Barnett/2016/08/12-million-dollar-upgrade-for-Marmion-Ave-intersections.aspx|website=Media Statements|publisher=Government of Western Australia|accessdate=24 June 2017|archive-date=1 May 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170501075600/https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Barnett/2016/08/12-million-dollar-upgrade-for-Marmion-Ave-intersections.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=$7.4m Marmion Avenue upgrade to commence|url=https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Barnett/2016/11/7-4m-Marmion-Avenue-upgrade-to-commence.aspx|website=Media Statements|publisher=Government of Western Australia|accessdate=24 June 2017|archive-date=18 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211018202522/https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Barnett/2016/11/7-4m-Marmion-Avenue-upgrade-to-commence.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Busy Marmion Avenue intersection upgrades completed early|url=https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/McGowan/2017/05/Busy-Marmion-Avenue-intersection-upgrades-completed-early.aspx|website=Media Statements|publisher=Government of Western Australia|accessdate=24 June 2017|archive-date=28 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190228100738/https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/McGowan/2017/05/Busy-Marmion-Avenue-intersection-upgrades-completed-early.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Marmion Avenue Intersection Upgrades Newsletter|url=https://www.mainroads.wa.gov.au/Documents/Marmion%20Avenue%20Intersection%20Upgrade.RCN-D16%5E23507677.PDF|website=Main Roads Western Australia|accessdate=24 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Marmion Avenue Intersection Upgrades|url=https://www.mainroads.wa.gov.au/BuildingRoads/Projects/CompletedProjects/2017/Pages/marmionavinterupgrd.aspx|website=Main Roads Western Australia|accessdate=24 June 2017}}</ref>

During 2017, works were undertaken to widen Marmion Avenue to a four-lane dual carriageway between Lukin Drive and Butler Boulevard. The project cost $2.21 million and was funded by the City of Wanneroo. Construction started in February 2017 and was complete by August.<ref>{{cite web|title=Construction company RJ Vincent & Co wins contract to widen Marmion Avenue|url=http://www.communitynews.com.au/north-coast-times/news/construction-company-rj-vincent-co-wins-contract-to-widen-marmion-avenue/|accessdate=24 June 2017|website=Community News}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Marmion Avenue dual carriageway from Lukin Drive to Butler Boulevard|url=http://www.wanneroo.wa.gov.au/directory_record/329/merriwa_-_marmion_avenue_dual_carriageway_from_lukin_drive_to_butler_boulevard|accessdate=24 June 2017|website=City of Wanneroo}}</ref>

Construction started in 2018 on upgrading Marmion Avenue north of Camborne Parkway, from the current 2-lane single carriageway to a 4-lane dual carriageway. The state government has allocated the City of Wanneroo $23 million to upgrade the road. It is being done in three stages, with the first stage up to Alkimos already completed.

==Future==

Extensions of Marmion Avenue are possible to [[Two Rocks, Western Australia|Two Rocks]]. Currently, works are being conducted to extend Marmion Avenue to Toreopango Avenue in [[Yanchep, Western Australia|Yanchep]] with new local road connections {{cite web |url=https://www.yanchepnewsonline.com.au/marmion-ave-extension-means-no-speed-humps-for-yanchep-street/ |title=Marmion Ave Extension, Yanchep|author=<!--Not stated--> |date= |website= |publisher= |access-date= |quote=}} Perth's Transport at 3.5 million plan does not say that Marmion Avenue when the remaining extension to [[Two Rocks, Western Australia|Two Rocks]] will occur,<ref name="Road Network Plan">{{cite web|title=Road Network Plan|url=http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/mediaFiles/projects/PROJ_P_Road_Network__Plan.pdf|website=Main Roads Western Australia|accessdate=24 June 2017}}</ref> One possible complication would be Two Rocks's past use as a munitions dump, meaning that most non-suburban sections of the suburb are fenced off.

The ultimate plan is for Marmion Avenue to become a six-lane dual carriageway between Alkimos and Yanchep, and a four-lane dual carriageway for the rest of the road. Also, the intersection with Yanchep Beach Road may be grade separated by 2050.<ref name="Road Network Plan"/> However, these plans have since been placed on perminate hold, with changes to Perth's future transport plan ongoing. Perth and Peel @ 3.5 million plan has since altered these plans, favouring an extension of Mitchell Freeway to Two Rocks and a new Whiteman Yanchep Highway to be built from Tonkin Highway via East Wanneroo to join with the Mitchell Freeway.<ref name="Whiteman Yanchep Highway">{{cite web|title=Whiteman Yanchep Highway|url=https://www.mainroads.wa.gov.au/projects-initiatives/all-projects/metropolitan/Whiteman-Yanchep-Highway/|website=Main Roads Western Australia|accessdate=27 July 2024}}</ref>
