What's happening
Local path connection opening Saturday 15 August
The shared path network is continuing to open as finishing works are completed.
From Saturday 15 August, a new local path connection linking the Principal Shared Path (PSP) east of Mitchell Freeway to Cedric Street will open to the community.
This new connection will make it easier for cyclists, pedestrians and other path users to travel between the PSP and local destinations, providing a more convenient and direct route through the area.
Wayfinding signage will be in place to guide path users and highlight new network connections.
The remaining sections of the shared path network will continue to open progressively as final works are completed. Stay tuned for further updates.
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.
Cedric Street reopens

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.
