Thornlie-Cockburn Link and Yanchep Rail Extension Projects

ongoing

Two of Western Australia’s biggest infrastructure projects—the Thornlie–Cockburn Link and Yanchep Rail Extension projects—have been granted priority status by Infrastructure Australia, paving the way for construction. The Thornlie–Cockburn Link will enhance the existing passenger rail network by providing a 17.5-kilometre extension connecting the existing Thornlie Rail Line to Cockburn Central Station on the Mandurah Line. The Yanchep Rail Extension project will extend the existing Joondalup Line railway a further 14.5 kilometres between Butler and Yanchep, with new stations, bus interchanges, and park-and-ride facilities at Alkimos, Eglinton, and Yanchep.
