Network Operation Planning

Westport Roads IPT – ITS and Network Operations Planning Lead

Client: Main Roads WA | 2024 – Ongoing

Westport is one of the most significant freight infrastructure programs in Western Australia’s history — repositioning container trade from Fremantle to Kwinana and triggering major upgrades to the Kwinana Freeway, Anketell Road, and Roe Highway. Okami Cho leads the Network Operations and ITS design across the Integrated Planning Team, overseeing all ITS and network operations deliverables for the Kwinana Freeway Upgrade and Anketell Road West Upgrade projects.

Our work goes well beyond design. We manage a multidisciplinary team developing road user access strategies, conducting smart freeways analysis, and guiding ITS design to maximise network efficiency and safety. We also chair the Freight and Road User Group — bringing together government and industry stakeholders to ensure the program delivers for every user of the network.
