6 CPD Points Register

Perth City Link is a collaboration between the MRA, Public Transport Authority, and the Australian Government and is one of the most significant transit oriented developments in Australia.

The 13.5 hectare project will reconnect the CBD with Northbridge for the first time in more than 100 years and will dramatically change the face of the city and deliver improved access and connectivity, increased residential, retail and commercial opportun ities and high quality public spaces. The project involves sinking the Fremantle rail line from the Horseshoe Bridge to King/Lake Streets, undergrounding the Wellington Street Bus Station and creating five new pedestrian and vehicular connections.

When com plete, will create 1,650 new apartments catering for a residential population of approximately 3,060 people, and the creation of 244,000 square metres of office/retail space providing opportunities for 13,500 new workers.

Yagan Square will be Perth City Link’s crowning feature and is set to become one of Perth’s top public destinations. Set within the arms of the Horseshoe Bridge, Square will be a place for people to meet, connect, discover and celebrate Western Australia’s produce, he ritage and environment. As a major transport hub with links to the train station and new underground Wellington Street Bus Station, will be a collection of retail markets, cafes, restaurants, pop-up shops, kiosks, green spaces and play areas p roviding plenty of things to see and do.

Gain a special insight into this project. MRA representatives will provide a project briefing followed by an 'on foot' site tour, highlighting innovative solutions to the project management challenges in delivering this project.
