Engagement

Access and Inclusion Reference Group

Established in 2019, the Access and Inclusion Reference Group (AIRG) plays a crucial role in ensuring METRONET projects are inclusive and accessible to all community members. 

The AIRG provides valuable insight and feedback on various aspects of each project to ensure they can be enjoyed by everyone in the community, by providing feedback on design and usability on proposed stations and precincts, and suggestions for improvements.

The group's efforts have been instrumental in shaping the design and construction of METRONET projects, from the design of accessible toilets at our new stations to the design of the new C-series trains, ensuring they meet the needs of all community members. 
 

Engagement

Through its program of works, METRONET aims to create a well-connected Perth with more transport, housing and employment choices.

METRONET projects benefit communities in the areas where they are built and engagement with communities is essential throughout the planning, construction and delivery of each project.

METRONET is committed to ensuring active and ongoing communication with the community by:
•    communicating in an open, transparent and timely manner
•    informing the community and key stakeholders about the project and its benefits
•    working with project design and delivery teams to maximise opportunities to reduce the impacts of construction on pedestrians, motorists, cyclists, residents and businesses
•    communicating upcoming disruptions in a timely manner
•    providing a range of opportunities and channels for community groups and stakeholders to discuss any concerns or potential issues
•    responding promptly to community enquiries. 

We encourage the community to contact METRONET for more information, visit the projects page for project-specific information, or sign up for project updates.
