About this episode

Designed by Woods Bagot, Perth’s METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook Line creates 21km of new railway track, connecting the north-eastern suburbs and Perth CBD. Five new integrated station precincts link various places of character and landscape along the unique Perth Swan Coastal Plain.

 The Morley-Ellenbrook Line represents the most significant expansion of the rail network since the Mandurah Line was built in 2007.

 To explain this huge project, we have with us Kukame McPierzie, Principal at Woods Bagot and National Vice-President of the Association of Consulting Architects, and the design lead on this project.

This podcast is brought to you in association with Moddex, proud sponsors of our 2025 Commercial series of podcasts.
