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.
