THE final two stations for the Metronet Ellenbrook line are now complete, ready for the official opening of the new line on Sunday, December 8.

This follows the completion of Ellenbrook, Ballajura and Whiteman Park stations earlier this year.

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 21-kilometre 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 Ellenbrook line starts at the new Bayswater Station, with new stations at Morley, Noranda, Ballajura, Whiteman Park and Ellenbrook.

The $1.65 billion Ellenbrook line is jointly funded by the federal and state governments.

Transport Minister Rita Saffioti said the Ellenbrook line was powering towards completion, and when it opens later this year it will slash travel times for people across the 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.”

Bassendean MLA Dave Kelly said it was fantastic to see the two new train stations completed, and in around a month’s time, they’ll be used by the community for the first time.

“Our government recognises the importance of high-quality public transport for a better functioning city, and we will continue to prioritise investment that provides the community with better access to buses and trains.”

Morley MLA Amber-Jade Sanderson said two new stations looked incredible and will provide the community with high-quality public transport for many years to come.

“Access to reliable public transport is essential, and the Ellenbrook Line will completely transform how people move around our city.”

Maylands MLA Lisa Baker said Metronet was transforming the community with the new train stations in Bayswater and Morley providing better access to public transport than ever before.

“Our government is proud to be delivering on its commitments and a record of providing high quality and affordable public transport to more people than ever before.”
