The Western Australian Government is continuing to rejuvenate John Forrest National Park with a $5 million contract now awarded to Advanteering Civil Engineers for an accessible walkway and bridge across Glen Brook.

Advanteering Civil Engineers will build the structure, which will offer visitors stunning views over the surrounding granite outcrops, Jane Brook and Glen Brook, and the Railway Reserve Heritage Trail.

It will also allow visitors to walk or cycle between the new West Ridge car park, expected to be completed by early 2025, and the future Park Hub.

WA Environment Minister Reece Whitby noted "John Forrest National Park is an iconic part of Western Australia, and it's exciting to see the key elements of this project coming together.

"Combining style with functionality, the Glen Brook bridge will not only provide a functional connection between key areas in the park, but it will also showcase its natural beauty by offering visitors sweeping views over the waters, granites and open forest.”

Construction is due to begin early next year and is expected to be completed by mid-2025.
