However, it is acknowledged that an increase in population density and/or the expansion of commercial activities in South Perth in the future is likely to provide justification for the establishment of a train station in the area, recognising, in particular, such a station’s role as a destination station for the Perth Zoo. I have therefore given a commitment to the construction of a train station at South Perth around 2010 and it is anticipated that the facility will be constructed within the Kwinana Freeway median with passenger access close to Lyall Street. Given the above, the Member will appreciate that at this time there are no details available which outline the proposed construction of a station at South Perth.

A proposal for a station at South Perth was considered during the planning stages for the South West Metropolitan Railway project. A station at South Perth could not be justified because the projected patronage was considered low and, in the short to medium term, that patronage will be adequately serviced with existing high frequency bus and ferry services. Therefore, the Master Plan for the South West Metropolitan Railway, approved in August 2002, did not include the provision of a station at South Perth at this time.
However, it is acknowledged that an increase in population density and/or the expansion of commercial activities in South Perth in the future is likely to provide justification for the establishment of a train station in the area, recognising, in particular, such a station’s role as a destination station for the Perth Zoo.
