The NEWest Alliance, a partnership between CPB Contractors and Downer, will deliver the Yanchep Rail Extension and the Thornlie to Cockburn Link components of Perth’s METRONET rail project.

The contract is worth around $423 million and is funded by the Western Australian and Federal Governments.

The Yanchep Rail Extension will see the Joondalup line north from Butler extended to Yanchep and will involve the construction of three new stations to support the area’s growing population.

The Thornlie to Cockburn Link aims to connect the Mandurah and Armadale lines and will involve the construction of two new stations. This will provide Perth’s first cross line connection and aims to improve public transport services to the city’s southern suburbs.

Downer Managing Director and CEO Grant Fenn said Downer has a long and successful history of safely delivering transport infrastructure projects around the country.
