What's happening

Cedric Street shared path reopened

We are one step closer to opening the fully integrated shared path network.

A section of the shared path on the northern side of Cedric Street near Stephenson Avenue has reopened, along with an additional signalised crossing.

The reopening will provide a continuous connection along Cedric Street, restoring key connections for cyclists, pedestrians and other path users and improving access to the new Principal Shared Path (PSP), the broader local shared path network and key destinations, including Stirling Station.

Stay tuned for final updates for when the remaining shared path section opens.

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.
