METRONET works on site

Glen Iris Project Team Community Update

If you’ve noticed some survey and pre-construction activity recently around Glen Iris Estate project site, you may be interested to know that the works are part of the new Metronet Thornlie-Cockburn Link.

ATCO Gas Australia is preparing to carry out gas mainline construction around the Glen Iris community as part of a service relocation to make way for what will be Perth’s first east-west cross line rail connection.

The ATCO works will include the installation of a new gas mainline from Dean Road across to Hartwell Parade, before extending under the freeway and connecting to an existing main in South Lake.

Connecting the Mandurah and Armadale/Thornlie train lines, the new east-west link is designed to bring a higher level of public transport service to Perth’s southern suburbs.

People living and working in the area can look forward to direct access to employment, sporting and recreation opportunities at Canning Vale, Cannington Strategic Metropolitan Centre, Burswood Peninsula and the eastern Central Business District.

The early works and detailed design for the Metronet Thornlie-Cockburn Link have been completed and the main construction phase is now underway, with the first trains on the new line expected to run in 2023.

ATCO is expected to commence the installation of a new pipeline along Jandakot Road from Warton Road to the rail corridor west of Kwinana Freeway through Jandakot and South Lake in November 2020.
