Surf CAT bus service

New free CAT service

The Surf CAT will be a daily service, running from Stirling Station along Ellen Stirling Boulevard and Scarborough Beach Road direct to Scarborough Beach.

The free service will run up to every 10 minutes during peak periods, from early in the morning to late at night, seven days a week.

The new service will commence on Sunday 30 November 2025.

New bus embayments and intersection improvements

In order to accommodate the new service, two new bus embayments are being installed on West Coast Highway, north of Scarborough Beach Road.

There will also be changes to the West Coast Highway and Scarborough Beach Road intersection to improve accessibility and reduce congestion, including the addition of dedicated bus lanes to prioritise bus movements.

These intersection upgrades include:

• Alternating pedestrian phases and the installation of pedestrian countdown timers.
• New east and westbound bus lanes on Scarborough Beach Road.
• Private vehicles travelling eastbound on Scarborough Beach Road will no longer be able to turn onto West Coast Highway.

The upgraded intersection will have the following configuration:

Route 410 and 412 extension

The existing Route 410 and 412 bus service is being extended to Karrinyup Bus Station and will significantly improve access between Scarborough and Karrinyup.

Main Roads is overseeing the roadworks and intersection upgrades required for the new service, and is currently completing the new bus embayments on West Coast Highway. Work will commence shortly on building the new bus lanes on Scarborough Beach Road.

To complete the work in an efficient manner and to minimise traffic disruption on this busy route, most of this work is being completed at night between the hours of 8pm and 6am. This includes out-of-hours asphalting works at the West Coast Highway and Scarborough Beach Road intersection from 27 November until mid-December, which will require lane closures, speed reductions and detours.

Some minor works will also be conducted during the day on West Coast Highway.

If you have any queries about the construction work, please contact Main Roads on 138 138 (24/7) or email enquiries@mainroads.wa.gov.au
