MELconnx Consortium has been announced as the preferred alliance to build the Morley-Ellenbrook Line.

Made up of Laing O’Rourke Australia Construction the Alliance will now work closely with the Public Transport Authority to progress the designs and develop a construction schedule once the contract is signed in the coming weeks.

This contract is the biggest of four works packages that will deliver the project, and includes designing, constructing and commissioning the line and the five new stations at Morley, Noranda, Malaga, Whiteman Park and Ellenbrook. The other three packages are the New Bayswater Station Project, Tonkin Gap Project’s associated works, and forward works contracts.

The project is set to support more than 3000 jobs and connect Perth’s growing north-eastern suburbs to the rail network.

Local businesses looking to be involved in the project are encouraged to complete our Construction Business Register for your details to be passed onto the Alliance. Jobs on the projects will be advertised directly through the Alliance.
