Ennis Avenue is a major road betweenRockingham and its southern suburbs and is part of Australia's NationalHighway 1 for all of its length. It is a controlled access road and after leaving Rockingham has only four intersections (Willmott Drive, Safety Bay Road, Royal Palm Drive and Port Kennedy Drive)—the alternative route isRead Street andWarnbro Sound Avenue which runs roughly parallel to and west of Ennis Avenue.
TheKwinana Freeway was built toSafety Bay Road in 2002, which means that Kwinana Freeway traffic going toMandurah and the South West of Western Australia fromPerth enters Ennis Avenue near its halfway point (7.5 km) at Safety Bay Road until the extension further south in 2009. TheWarnbro railway station, which opened in December 2007, is next to this intersection.
Ennis Avenue is controlled and maintained byMain Roads Western Australia.[1]
The entire road's length is in theCity of Rockingham, with all intersections controlled by traffic lights unless otherwise indicated.
