Giving old PPE new life
As the Stephenson Avenue Extension Project nears completion, used personal protective equipment (PPE) is being given new life through an innovative recycling initiative.
In partnership with Upparel, a certified B Corp and leader in textile recovery, old PPE is being diverted from landfill and repurposed.
Donated items include steel cap boots, hi-vis shirts, jackets and jumpers, safety glasses, hard hats and gloves will be transformed into a composite product known as Uptex. This material can then be used to manufacture products such as packaging, signage and homewares.
Sustainability has been a key focus throughout the Project, with targets in place to reduce waste and maximise opportunities for reuse and recycling where possible.
By diverting 100 per cent of surplus PPE from landfill, this initiative demonstrates how practical recycling solutions can reduce waste and deliver sustainable project outcomes.
Milestone Moments
New Cedric Street access opened from Saturday 5 September 2026
On Saturday 5 September 2026, a new access point to the Stirling Station southern car park has opened 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.
As we continue with finishing works in the area, temporary off-peak access changes to the car park will be required. More information on these temporary changes will be available under the Roadworks section.
Stirling Bus Interchange open
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.
Finishing works are continuing for the remainder of the year, which will include some pedestrian movement restrictions while these works are completed.
Information on access points to the bus interchange and train station, can be found here.
