(1) The Forrestfield - Airport Link (FAL), the Butler to Yanchep rail line extension and the Thornlie to Cockburn rail line extension.
(2) Detailed FAL drawings are a work in progress and will inform future tender processes; it would be inappropriate to release them at this time. However, note that high level/concept drawings of the FAL route were provided in the FAL publically released documents. Yanchep and Thornlie extension drawings are preliminary and will inform and be part of future considerations by Government.
(3) Route options for a railway from the CBD through the northern central suburban corridor have been considered as part of long term future planning.
