For the first time, people in Perth’s northern suburbs will have direct connection to the Yanchep Line
The METRONET Yanchep Rail Extension extends the Joondalup Line 14.5 kilometres north from Butler, and includes 3 new stations in Alkimos, Eglinton and Yanchep.
Perth’s northern coastal corridor is among Australia’s fastest-growing areas, and the new train line will connect rapidly developing suburbs to the Perth CBD and airport.
Each station has modern facilities and ample parking, with more than 900 parking bays at Yanchep Station, 700 bays at Alkimos Station and 400 at Eglington.
The state-of-the-art stations will unlock residential and commercial land in surrounding areas, opening up new housing opportunities linked to major infrastructure and services.
The extension includes 3 green fauna bridges – the first of their kind over rail in WA – providing native wildlife a safe crossing over the rail corridor and maintaining habitat connectivity in the Ningana Bushland.
Construction works on the project began in late 2019, supporting around 1,370 local jobs.
The Australian Government has contributed $804 million towards the $1.44 billion project.
