TRCB (working with Woods Bagot) is delivering two train stations on Metronet’s new Morley-Ellenbrook Line (MEL), Perth’s largest public transport project since the Mandurah Line. The MEL will provide 21 kilometres of new rail line from Ellenbrook to Bayswater, connecting Perth’s north-eastern suburbs to the CBD, and will deliver five new stations as well as planning for the areas around the stations.

Morley Station is located within the Tonkin Highway median under the Broun Avenue bridge and will connect passengers to the Morley Galleria shopping precinct, surrounding businesses, schools and the local community. The station’s modern facilities will meet the daily transport needs of all passengers and offer an attractive new transport option for those living and working in the area.

Noranda Station, positioned at the intersection of Tonkin Highway and Benara Road, will offer passengers a full range of convenient facilities while adding to the ‘liveability’ of the surrounding suburbs of Beechboro, Kiara and Noranda. The architectural design takes a holistic approach to the station precinct, with the building integrating in its surrounding residential context.
