Project WA 2015

The government is ensuring WA remains the ‘engine room’ of the nation’s economy, with around $150 billion worth of projects on the horizon. It’s a rapid development that proves the state’s dedication to sustained long-term growth, and will cement its global presence.

THE FORRESTFIELD AIRPORT LINK

This rail project offers the transport solution to connect the community and Perth CBD with Perth Airport, the eastern suburbs and regional centres.

The airport link, known as The Forrestfield Line, commences in 2016 and comprises three new stations and 3000 parking bays. The Consolidated Airport Station will be underground for both domestic and international flights at Perth Airport once the project is complete.

The 8.5km rail link will spur to the east off the existing Midland line and run underground for 8km, reducing surface impact to the community, roads and environment above the ground.

NORTHLINK WA

On July 2, 2015, the journey towards safer roads and communities in Perth's southern suburbs achieved a major milestone, with the conditional environmental approval of the Roe Highway Extension (Roe 8) by the Minister for Environment.

The primary objective of the NorthLinkWA project is to enhance freight efficiency and productivity by reducing travel time between Metropolitan Perth and the northwest of Australia. This comprises two separately funded projects as part of a wider series of improvements to the Perth-Darwin National Highway. The first involves the construction of a new 37km highway link between the junction of Reid Highway/Tonkin Highway in Morley, and Muchea in the Shire of Chittering. Most of the freight traffic currently using Great Northern Highway through the Swan Valley will transfer onto this new route. Tonkin Grade Separations involves an upgrade to the northern end of Tonkin Highway in the Morley area, including new interchanges at Tonkin Highway's junctions with Collier Road and Morley Drive, and a flyover taking Benara Road over Tonkin Highway.
