Perth’s METRONET Ellenbrook Line is getting closer to opening with the final two stations now complete.
Final public art installation and landscaping works are underway at Morley and Noranda stations, following the completion of Ellenbrook, Ballajura and Whiteman Park stations earlier in 2024.
Travel from Morley Station to Perth will only be a 15-minute journey, and 18-minutes from Noranda Station into the CBD.
With convenient and modern facilities, the stations both include 400 parking bays and secure bike parking.
Public art features include an arrival statement piece which includes a mural and perforated screens at Morley Station, and sky lights, façade screens and an underpass mural at Noranda Station.
Almost 1000 tonnes of steel was used for the construction of these two stations.
This milestone follows an intensive period of testing and driver familiarisation along the 21km line.
This project has supported over 6,500 jobs to date and will unlock thousands of new housing options for Western Australians as part of future developments.
The METRONET Ellenbrook Line starts at the new Bayswater Station, with new stations at Morley, Noranda, Ballajura, Whiteman Park and Ellenbrook.
The $1.65 billion METRONET Ellenbrook Line is jointly funded by the Federal and State governments.
Western Australian Transport Minister Rita Saffioti, said, “The METRONET Ellenbrook Line is powering towards completion, and when it opens later this year it will slash travel times for people across our north-eastern suburbs.
“Communities in our growing north-east corridor have been crying out for better public transport options, and I am incredibly proud that our government is making that a reality.
“Our government made a commitment to deliver this rail line, and by the end of this year, passengers will be able to jump on board the first trains.”
