Go ahead given for construction of Midland Station in Australia

The construction of Midland Station in Australia is set to commence later this year following the lodging of the Development Approval (DA) application. New designs for the project which is jointly funded by the Federal and State governments have also been unveiled.

The brand-new three-platform station will be between Cale and Helena streets. Its construction will be under the expertise of the Midland Junction Alliance. The collaborative team is made up of Georgiou Group, BG&E, McConnell Dowell Constructors (Aust), and Arcadis Australia Pacific.

The Midland Station in Australia strives to be a landmark for Midland. Its design will feature contemporary themes that reflect the local culture and heritage. The contemporary design will be against the industrial backdrop of the Midland Railway Workshops.

Midland Station in Australia to serve as Midland’s landmark centerpiece

Its location brings it closer to the Midland CBD. As a result, it will also improve access to sites such as the Midland Gate Shopping Centre. Additionally, it will also improve access to the Midland Health Campus.

The brand-new station will include a 12-stand bus interchange, platforms for servicing the urban and regional networks as well as bike shelters. Furthermore, the station will include a pedestrian overpass accessible to the public 24/7, a kiosk, operations facilities, as well as 1 kilometer of new shared path.

The path will also serve as an extension of the existing network. Moreover, the project will also include a multi-storey car park, boasting a capacity of more than 800 bays, that’ll replace the existing at-grade car park.

While speaking on the project, Rita Saffioti said that the new train station’s designs showcase a visually appealing, accessible, and modern development. Most importantly, the Western Australia Transport Minister added that the project will serve as a vital connection to residential buildings, essential community facilities, and local businesses.

The completion of Midland Station in Australia is due in 2025.
