Victoria Park-Canning Level Crossing Removal

The project is Perth’s first major elevated rail designed to improve public transport safety, create new and versatile public space for the community and reduce traffic congestion.

Six level crossings will be removed along the Armadale Line by raising the rail over the road at Mint Street, Oats Street, Welshpool Road, Hamilton Street, Wharf Street and William Street. New modern elevated stations will be built at Carlisle, Oats Street, Queens Park, Cannington and Beckenham stations. Welshpool Station will close.

Planning to remove the William Street level crossing and elevate Beckenham Station has progressed.

New public space will be created with around six hectares of land currently occupied by rail lines transformed into a flexible and enjoyable parkland. The design of the public space has involved consultation with community and stakeholders to help shape the look, feel and function.

Read more about the community priorities for public space.

Development applications for the Carlisle and Oats Street station precincts and public spaces have been submitted and include concepts that provide opportunities for the community to connect with friends and family.

Concept designs for the City of Canning section which covers Queens Park and Cannington stations, and surrounding areas will be released in coming months with another public comment period. Beckenham Station, within the City of Gosnells, will follow shortly thereafter.
