In early 2000 Main Roads Department of WA announced their intention to begin Roe Highway (Stage 8) through the #BeeliarWetlands. The North Lake Residents Association held a meeting, leading to the formation of a community Action Committee.

The #RoeHighway was first drafted in 1955, with sections built over the next 50 years. The Roe 8 section was a 5km heavy-haulage route planned to pass through #BeeliarWetlands, 20km south of Perth, projected to cost $450 million.
