The New METRONET Midland Station is officially open
The new METRONET Midland Station is officially open, marking a historic milestone in the transformation of Perth's public transport network.
The construction of a modern, better-connected station has been a long-held vision for many in the local community and will help drive the ongoing growth of Midland in Perth's northeast.
The state-of-the-art station is closer to key destinations like the Midland Health Campus and Midland Gate shopping centre, and features a 24/7 pedestrian overpass, new public spaces, a 12-stand bus interchange and a multi-storey car park.
The opening of the new Midland Station marks the completion of the twenty-third METRONET station, as part of the State Government’s vision to expand and revitalise the public transport network.
METRONET has delivered 23 new stations, 72 kilometres of new rail and removed 15 level crossings, unlocking thousands of hectares of land for housing, local businesses and community activation.
The new station is located to the east of the old station and has been designed to reflect the area's Noongar culture and landscape, as well as its industrial heritage, set against the backdrop of the Midland Railway Workshops.
Works on the new station began in July 2023 and included the relocation of the level crossing from Helena Street to Cale Street, as well as the demolition of the 57-year-old station.
The iconic Midland Station clock was carefully preserved during the works following a community campaign and has now been reinstated on the walls of the new station.
The new bus interchange delivered as part of the project, is now fully operational with 12 bus stands, toilets and customer service facilities.
The interchange was built with community designed artwork across the canopy panels, undertaken by local artists in collaboration with local non-profit organisation Indigo Junction.
Since January 2025, a new five storey car park has provided more than 800 spaces for local commuters, and features security cameras, lifts, duress alarms and provision for future electric car charging stations.
Regular passenger services will run from Midland Station tomorrow, with trains operating every 12 minutes during peak and every 15 minutes off peak.
Passengers will pay no more than $2.80 using a SmartRider with Autoload or $3.50 using contactless payments to travel anywhere on the network with the Go Anywhere fare.
More than 250 local jobs were supported during the project, with 16 Aboriginal businesses awarded contracts of more than $50,000 to deliver the works.
The new METRONET Midland Station Project has been awarded a 6 Star Green Star Design rating by the Green Building Council of Australia - the highest possible rating, recognised internationally as demonstrating 'World Leadership' in sustainability.
