Overview

The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (on behalf of the Western Australian Planning Commission) is seeking public comment on the Nicholson Road Station Development Application that proposes:

  • a new station comprising a ground-level concourse and station building with a station entry on the south of the rail line and a pedestrian overpass to an island platform;
  • a new bus interchange facility and bicycle parking infrastructure;
  • a new road network to provide access to the station and bus interchange;
  • a dedicated passenger drop off area and a park and ride facility with approximately 1000 bays.

The Thornlie-Cockburn Link will connect the Mandurah and Armadale/Thornlie lines, making travel around the city by train more flexible and providing a higher level of public transport service to Perth’s southern suburbs. The Thornlie-Cockburn Link aims to:

  • provide an improved transport alternative to private vehicle transport in the South Metropolitan Peel sub-region to increase connectivity of the network
  • address public transport service gaps that exist between the existing rail corridors in the South Metropolitan Peel sub-region; and
  • alleviate current and future capacity pressures on the existing rail network and surrounding road network in the South Metropolitan Peel sub-region.

In December 2019 the NEWest Alliance was announced as the successful Alliance to deliver the Thornlie Cockburn Link.
