25.01.2022 The results are in and almost 500 survey respondents told us that the easing of congestion, saving time and increased safety are what excites the community most when it comes to the removal of up to six level crossings on the Inner Armadale Line. For a detailed look at the survey results read more here https://www.metronet.wa.gov.au//survey-captures-community-

25.01.2022 Shovels are in the ground at Thomas Road for the Byford Rail Extension. Ahead of schedule, this work was separated from the main project works to boost jobs and the economy.

24.01.2022 #flashbackfriday to a year ago when we relocated the Bayswater Kurrajong Tree! Since its relocation the tree has been under close watch by arborists at the City of Bayswater, with weekly health checks. We’re pleased to report the tree is in good health. It’s looking forward to some cooler weather (as are we!) but for now, with new root and canopy growth, tailored reticulation and ongoing fertilisation it is strong enough to tough out the rest of summer and beyond. We unders...tand that mature trees are an important part of local landscapes and we're happy that we could save and relocate this historic and significant Kurrajong tree. While we do have to remove some other mature trees to make way for the new tracks and station, our landscape planners are working to ensure that the new station precinct will include as many shade-giving trees as possible.
