Plans have been unveiled to regularise and redevelop the Soesdyke Junction along the Soesdyke/Linden Highway, creating a centralised economic hub while ensuring that existing vendors are not displaced.
The announcement was made by Housing Minister Collin Croal at the launch of the Hyde Park Homestead Project on Thursday. He explained that the initiative responds to congestion and unregulated vending at the junction, particularly on weekends.
The plan will see vendors relocated into a consolidated and organised area where they can continue operating in a safer and more structured environment. The development is intended to support commerce, improve traffic flow, and enhance services for commuters and visitors travelling along the corridor.
The junction upgrade forms part of a wider government investment of $7.5 billion along the Soesdyke/Linden Highway, which includes housing developments, infrastructure works, water supply, and preparatory works for new communities.
“We are not displacing or removing persons from their business; we are putting them in a consolidated area so they can operate in a more organised and supportive environment,” Croal said.
The Soesdyke Junction development is expected to complement ongoing housing and infrastructure projects, supporting planned growth, small business activity, and long-term community development. (Modified from DPI)
