Western Australia’s METRONET program of works will continue delivering projects that will transform Perth as well as support and create jobs as the State Government allocates $6 billion through 2022-23 State Budget.

This significant funding injection will progress different METRONET projects over the next four years, including new projects such as the Morrison Road Level Crossing Removal in Midland and the Canning Bridge Bus Interchange.

Key milestones for METRONET in 2022-23 include: 

• About 20,000 passenger trips per day when the Forrestfield-Airport Link is completed, providing quick and easy access to Perth Airport and the eastern suburbs
• The first C-series train rolling out of the Bellevue Railcar Manufacturing and Assembly Facility for testing on the network
• Lakelands Station is on track for entry into passenger service mid-2023
• Peak construction activities across a number of METRONET projects (Morley-Ellenbrook Line, Thornlie-Cockburn Link, Yanchep Rail Extension and Bayswater Station)
• Beginning major construction on the Midland Station, Byford Rail Extension, Victoria Park-Canning Level Crossing Removal, Greenwood Station Multi-Storey Car Park and the Public Transport Operations Control Centre
• Awarding the contract for the Train Control and Signalling project
• Commencement of detailed planning for the Morrison Road Level Crossing Removal
