Garden Island Highway is a 500-metre-long (1,600 ft) road that passes along the boundary of the suburbs of Rockingham and Shoalwater, in the City of Rockingham in Western Australia. Constructed in the 1970s, its original purpose was to create vehicle access to HMAS Stirling on Garden Island, but the highway was never completed. With the proposed expansion of HMAS Stirling as part of the AUKUS pact, completing the highway has once more been considered, with a feasibility study to be completed in 2025.
