Construction Under Way On The Morley-Ellenbrook Rail Line

Construction is full steam ahead on the METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook Line with Ellenbrook Station being the first of the 5 new stations to be complete.

The new 21-kilometre line will feature 5 new stations at Morley, Noranda, Malaga, Whiteman Park and Ellenbrook.

The METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook Line will be a game changer for Ellenbrook residents, taking passengers into the heart of Perth in just 30 minutes with no need to transfer trains, and the cost of a two-zone fare.

This is almost half the current travel time for local residents using public transport.

In further great news, live testing has commenced on the first fully-fitted out Western Australian made METRONET C-series train. In doing so, it will become the first locally manufactured train to roll onto our network in more than 30 years.

We made a commitment to bring local railcar manufacturing back to Western Australia, and these six railcars are the first of 246 that will be built at our facility in Bellevue over the coming years.

Ellenbrook Station

It’s been a long journey since we first committed to building the METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook Train Station in opposition, so it is incredible to unveil the first completed station in Ellenbrook.

The people living in the Ellenbrook community and surrounds have waited a long time for a train station - with the previous Government promising and never delivering.

The new station is adjacent to the town centre and includes a 12-stand bus interchange, 500 parking bays (including ACROD) and will get people to the CBD in just 30min.

This was the first station on the line to start and the first to finish and when it opens later this year, together with the other stations on the line, it will mean a 30 min trip to the city, cutting public transport travel times by half.

I am proud our Government got on with the job and delivered this much needed public transport infrastructure.

Whiteman Park Station

The Whiteman Park Station is rapidly taking shape. The new station, part of the METRONET Morley - Ellenbrook Line, will help create a new way to reach this incredible tourist attraction. It will also serve the growing Brabham and Dayton communities. The 10 bus stands are taking shape, along with the new station and carparks.

Whiteman Park Station will connect an important tourist attraction and growing residential community to the greater Perth area. A comfortable 25-minute train ride to or from the city centre, the station is being built just south of the Drumpellier Drive entrance to Whiteman Park and will serve the growing communities of Brabham, Dayton, Henley Brook and West Swan.

Our Government is also extending the heritage tram line all the way to the new Whiteman Park Station. The tramway is an iconic piece of Perth’s history and its extension to the new train station will provide a unique way for tourists to access Whiteman Park.

Malaga Station

Fantastic progress is being made on the METRONET Malaga Station. 

This is an impressive structure and will be an incredible station for thousands of people that live and work in suburbs like Malaga, Ballajura and Bennett Springs.

To help more people walk or ride to the new Malaga Station, the Government is building a new footbridge over Tonkin Highway. This will make it even easier for local residents to access the new station.

Access to the new bridge from Ballajura will be via the principal shared path along Tonkin Highway, close to the Premier Place access point. New shared path connections will also link Beechboro Road North to Whiteman Park and Marshall Road.

Once built, the new station will be a 21 minute journey into the city, with passengers benefiting from our governments two zone cap!
