WA Chapter Event: Thornlie Cockburn link Kenwick tunnel site visit
2024-10-18 13:00 - 17:00 (Australia/Perth) | Kenwick Tunnel Site, Kenwick Tunnel Site, Burnham Road Kenwick, Perth, Western Australia, 6108, Australia
Overview
Get an exclusive glimpse into the transformative Thornlie-Cockburn Link infrastructure project in Perth, Western Australia, designed to create the city’s first east-west cross-line connection.

This project will connect the Mandurah and Armadale-Thornlie lines, enhancing public transport accessibility in Perth’s south-eastern suburbs and supporting future development in the area.

The primary focus of our site visit will be the Kenwick tunnel, a crucial component of the Thornlie-Cockburn Link project. This tunnel, constructed nearly 20 years ago, requires significant revitalisation to meet current design standards and safety requirements.

Key project features include:

a new rail line connecting Thornlie Station to Cockburn Central Station
construction of two new stations: Nicholson Road and Ranford Road
upgrades to existing Thornlie, Cockburn Central, and Stadium stations
creation of approximately 1,680 jobs
improved access to employment and recreation opportunities
