METRONET Yanchep Station - Perth WA
METRONET is the largest public transport investment in Perth’s history, delivering approximately 72 kilometres of new passenger rail and 23 new stations. It serves as a catalyst for transforming more than 8,000 hectares of land around these stations into vibrant, desirable places to live, work, and play. As part of this project, the Yanchep Rail Extension added 14.5 kilometres from Butler to Yanchep, enhancing access to reliable public transport.
Project Design Brief
The pavement design for the station platforms included a variety of finishes, ranging from tiles to different concrete treatments and asphalt. The new station also required several underground services, including lighting, communications, power, and CCTV. Designers specified that all service enclosures must incorporate an appropriate level of security.
