Stirling Station southern car park access changes
New Cedric Street access opens from Saturday 5 September 2026
From Saturday 5 September 2026, a new access point to the Stirling Station southern car park will open from Cedric Street.
With upgrades now complete on Cedric Street and the surrounding shared path network, the new access will provide an additional entry and exit point for Transperth passengers travelling to and from the southern car park.
At the same time, the existing southern car park access from Stephenson Avenue will change to a left-in, left-out only arrangement, with the temporary right-turn movement into the car park removed.
These changes form part of the project's upgrades to improve vehicle access and traffic movements through the southern car park.
Pedestrian access upgrades
Pedestrian and cyclist access has also been upgraded, improving connections to the Mitchell Freeway Principal Shared Path (PSP), the broader local shared path network, Stirling Station and the southern car park.
Please see the access map below showing updated vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist movements to and from Stirling Station and the southern car park.
A safer, more connected way to move through Stirling
On Thursday 3 September, the final section of the shared path network will open on the eastern side of Catspaw Road, between IKEA and Cedric Street. This opening completes all shared path upgrades delivered as part of the project.
The upgraded network is now fully integrated with the Mitchell Freeway Principal Shared Path (PSP), providing safer, more direct and connected routes for cyclists, pedestrians and other path users through the area.
The completed network improves access to key local destinations, including Stirling Station.
Major upgrades to Stirling Bus Interchange complete
The upgraded Stirling Bus Interchange opened to passengers on Sunday 2 August 2026, marking the completion of major improvements to one of Perth’s busiest public transport hubs.
Bus stands on the new bus bridge opened earlier this year, with work subsequently focused on upgrading the stands on the original bridge. The expanded interchange has increased capacity from 18 to 29 bus stands, to help meet future demand and improve the efficiency of bus operations at the station.
With rail patronage at Stirling Station predicted to grow to more than 6,000 boardings by 2031, these improvements will deliver better public transport connections and support the continued growth of the Stirling city centre.
Bus services at Stirling Station have undergone stand changes. For more information visit Transperth Bus Update Details page.
Finishing works are continuing for the remainder of the year, which will include some pedestrian movement restrictions while these works are completed.
Missing Mitchell Freeway Principal Shared Path link opens
The new Mitchell Freeway Principal Shared Path (PSP) connection between Civic Place and Telford Crescent is now open.
The 1.4 km new four-metre-wide-path now forms part of the broader PSP network, improving safety, journey times and connections for people walking, riding and commuting in the area.
The PSP also features a new pedestrian and cyclist underpass beneath Stephenson Avenue featuring bespoke artwork, A Patchwork of Stories, created by local Western Australian artists David Ledger and Joanna Clark.
Inspired by Stirling’s market garden heritage and their personal connection to the area, the artists developed a work that celebrates the stories and history of the local community.
Take a moment to enjoy the artwork as you pass through the new connection.
Some finishing works continue on local shared path connections which will continue to open up in stages.
