What's Happening
Public feedback was sought on a preliminary design for a dedicated new facility to be built over the train station and Kwinana Freeway.
Replacing the existing bus station on Canning Highway, this new interchange will have more bus stands, new entries, better pedestrian access, more station facilities, direct connectivity for bus and train passengers and new Principal Shared Path (PSP) connections.
The preliminary design has been developed in consultation with key state and local government stakeholders and Noongar community representatives. Before we finalise the preliminary design your ideas on ways to enhance the precinct, especially the Canning River foreshore will be considered by the project for possible inclusion into the reference design. This will help inform a future detailed design process.
There was a strong response to the My Say Transport online survey with over 560 people responding to the call for input on the project.
As well, a number of people took the opportunity to chat with a member of the planning team at the City of South Perth Library at two drop-in sessions, and a third at the Canning Bridge Community Space, in Kishorn Road, Mt Pleasant over September 2025.
The feedback from the questions on the survey have been summarised into a document which is available below in Project Publications or can be viewed by clicking here.
