Moore Street Level Crossing Closure

Work is continuing to permanently close the Moore Street level crossing which was blocked off in October 2019 due to safety concerns. The eastern pedestrian level crossing will remain open to provide access to McIver Station platforms two and three. The western pedestrian level crossing on Moore Street is permanently closed.

Stage one of the project is now complete and includes:

• Removing of crossing infrastructure including boom gates and lights
• Reconfiguring Pier and Moore streets to create cul-de-sacs on the approach to the crossing
• Installing permanent fencing around the level crossing with gates for PTA maintenance access
• Kerbing work at the intersection of Pier and James streets to encourage vehicles to turn before reaching the end of Pier Street 
• Minor realignment of the Pier Street Principal Shared Path to accommodate the road changes

Stage 2 is expected to start early September and includes the following features:

• Reconfiguration of Moore Street to create a cul-de-sac on the approach to the crossing. 
• Extending the Pier Street staff carpark.
• Civil construction works to establish a standalone area for key services associated with the City of Perth’s homeless population. 
• Works include, paving, kerbing, CCTV and lighting upgrades.
• Beautification of the area to include trees, picnic tables, and shelters.

The Homelessness Hub is a great initiative that will act as a safe place for the homeless population of Perth to access key services like meal on wheels, health services and mobile cleaning facilities.

Project is expected to be completed in 2021.

Traffic management will be in place to safely direct motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians around the work site during different stages of construction. While every effort will be made to minimise impacts some disruptions may be noticed by neighbouring residents and businesses including noise, dust, vibration or asphalt odour. 

All work is expected to occur within standard construction hours (Monday to Saturday, 7am – 6pm).

Pedestrians and cyclists

• The pedestrian level crossing on the western side of Moore Street will remain permanently closed.
• Wilson’s car park and Pier Street parking will still be accessible.
• Pedestrians and cyclists can still cross the railway line using both the eastern pedestrian level crossing, which will remain open, and the McIver Station underpass.
• The shared path on the northern side of McIver Station will be unaffected by the temporary fencing or crossing closure.
