STAGE 1 civil works are now underway near the High Wycombe Station, progressing the Metronet East vision with a new precinct being developed by DevelopmentWA to meet the state government’s housing diversity and affordability goals

The 10.64 hectare parcel within the broader 61ha area immediately east of High Wycombe train station, along Sultana Road West, is being developed by DevelopmentWA into a vibrant new precinct.

The land parcel is planned to deliver well located housing, complemented by a community and recreational hub and mixed-use spaces that meet local needs while generating employment and economic opportunities for the wider region.

Stage 1 civil works include construction of a new central connector road linking the High Wycombe train station and Milner Road, together with the installation of key services needed to support residential development and the future proposed High Wycombe Community Hub.

The appointed contractor is RJ Vincent, with the first stage anticipated for completion in early 2027.

The High Wycombe Project Area forms part of Metronet East, which encompasses precincts around the new High Wycombe, Midland and Bayswater stations.

Forrestfield MLA Stephen Price said the new High Wycombe station has been transformative for the area.

“I’m proud to be part of a government that is building on the success of the station, ensuring the surrounding area is well-serviced for locals and provides more housing choice.”

Planning and Lands Minister John Carey said the project will deliver substantial benefits to Perth’s growing eastern corridor with more housing, leisure and job opportunities right near a new Metronet station.

“Through DevelopmentWA, our government is delivering a 10.64 hectare infill development surrounding the High Wycombe train station.

“It will drive activation, support a proposed community hub, and provide new housing opportunities for the area.”

Transport Minister Rita Saffioti said Metronet was unlocking opportunities for new housing and creating new communities around stations.

“The start of civil works at High Wycombe is a major milestone and shows how we’re turning that vision into reality.

“We’re creating more opportunities for people to live close to public transport, with better access to jobs, services and community facilities.”
