(a)-(j) The McGowan Labor Government’s METRONET program is the largest investment in heavy rail in Perth ever. With many previously announced projects currently in delivery, the focus is now turning to how to complement the heavy rail network through mid-tier transit solutions.
In 2023, the METRONET Office will lead a cross-transport portfolio project to investigate short, medium and long-term mid-tier transit options for Perth, building on the large body of work already completed in recent years, including that from stakeholders including local government.
