For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Perth's urban rail renaissance Abstract Over the past thirty five years, instead of being discontinued from use, Perth's urban rail network has been tripled in route length and electrified at 25,000 oltsv AC. The extensions include the Northern Suburbs Railway (with stage 1 opened in 1993 and this line reaching Butler in 2014), and, the 72 kilometre Perth Mandurah line opening in 2007. Integrated with a well run bus system, along with fast and frequent train services, there has been a near ten fold growth in rail patronage since 1981 when some 6.5 million passengers used the trains to 64.2 million in 2014-15. Bus patronage has also increased. These increases are even more remarkable given Perth's relatively low population density and high car dependence. The overall improvements in Perth's urban rail network, with many unusual initiatives, have attracted international attention.

  • South West Metropolitan Railway Perth to Mandurah
    South West Metropolitan Railway Perth to Mandurah Commissioner of Railways Report and recommendations of the Environmental Protection Authority Environmental Protection Authority Perth, Western Australia Bulletin 1102 July 2003 ISBN. 0 7307 6738 8 ISSN. 1030 - 0120 Assessment No. 1395 Summary and recommendations This report provides the Environmental Protection Authority’s (EPA’s) advice and recommendations to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage on the environmental factors relevant to the proposal to construct and operate the South West Metropolitan Railway from Perth to Mandurah. The proponent is the Commissioner of Railways. Section 44 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 requires the EPA to report to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage on the environmental factors relevant to the proposal and on the conditions and procedures to which the proposal should be subject, if implemented. In addition, the EPA may make recommendations as it sees fit. Relevant environmental factors The EPA decided that the following environmental factors relevant to the proposal required detailed evaluation in the report: (a) Terrestrial flora; (b) Fauna; (c) Wetlands; (d) Noise and vibration – operations phase; (e) Surface water and groundwater quality; and (f) Visual amenity. There were a number of other factors which were very relevant to the proposal, but the EPA is of the view that the information set out in Appendix 3 provides sufficient evaluation. Conclusion The EPA has considered the proposal by the Commissioner of Railways to construct and operate the South West Metropolitan Railway from Perth to Mandurah. The EPA notes that portions of the roads and railways reserves that accommodate the proposal have been the subject of previous environmental assessments.

  • The Transperth System
    The Transperth system Transperth is the brand and operating name of the public transport system in metropolitan Perth, comprising of bus, train and ferry services. The Transperth system consists of: • a bus network providing services over 305 standard routes and 482 school service routes, operating a total fleet of 1,015 buses; • a suburban train network of 56 stations on four railway lines, 95 kilometres of track and a fleet of 48 two-car sets; and, • a ferry service using two vessels operating between the city (Barrack Street) and South Perth. Transperth bus and ferry services are provided under commercial contract arrangements, while Transperth train services are provided “in-house” by Transperth Train Operations. Currently three contractors provide bus services under eleven contracts: • Path Transit (Marmion-Wanneroo and Morley contracts); • Swan Transit (Canning, Kalamunda, Midland and Southern River contracts); • Swan Transit Riverside (Claremont-Belmont contract); and, • Southern Coast Transit (Rockingham-Mandurah, Fremantle-Cockburn, Perth Central Area Transit and Fremantle Central Area Transit contracts). Transperth ferry services are contracted to, and operated by, Captain Cook Cruises. The Transperth passenger information service is provided through information offices and a call centre, operated by a contracted service provider, Serco. Patronage Patronage on the Transperth system increased for the fifth year in succession. Total boardings, including free travel and transfers, increased by 2.8% from 88.1 million in 2002/03 to 90.6 million, while fare-paying initial boardings increased by 2.1% from 54.3 million to 55.5 million.The total capacity provided on the Transperth system, expressed in terms of passenger place kilometres, increased by 2.0% due mainly to the increase in the number of four-car train sets.

Introduction This report is the second in the ‘What we thought would kill us’ series being undertaken by the Committee for Perth. The purpose of the series is to examine controversial development and infrastructure projects in Perth and scrutinize the outcomes that they have achieved. The series aims to provide valuable insight into undertaking and enabling major development in Perth. This report examines three defining events in the history of Perth’s passenger transport system: the electrification of the Perth to Fremantle Rail line; the development and operation of the Northern Suburbs Rapid Transit system; and the development of Perth’s new metro rail – the South West Rail line.
