Work on the train station at the new Perth Stadium site at Burswood has reached a major milestone with construction now under way. Stadium Station would be completed in 2017 in time for extensive commissioning and testing before it opens in time for the start of the 2018 AFL season.
“The station itself will cost about $40 million to build, with a further $60 million to be spent on the 11 kilometres of complex overhead wiring and track to support this world-class piece of infrastructure. When complete it will be the second biggest station on the Transperth network, after Perth,” Transport Minister Dean Nalder said.
In coming months, two big tower cranes will be erected on the site to enable the PRISM Alliance (the Public Transport Authority, Laing O’Rourke and AECOM) to start work on four of the platforms and a second set of tracks.
