Busselton traffic diverted after gas leak

A gas leak in West Busselton is causing police to redirect traffic.

Senior Constable Anthony Smith said they had cordoned off streets surrounding the corner of Queen Elizabeth Avenue and Bussell Highway at the request of Alinta Energy.

The gas leak is believed to be at the nearby cul-de-sac Thurkle Street.

Sen. Const. Smith said evacuations of nearby schools including Busselton Senior High School were being considered.
