This major infrastructure project involves the ‘sinking’ of the Perth rail yard to create new development land and link the CBD with the Northbridge cultural and entertainment precinct. Works include new and existing platform configuration/reconfiguration, a new underground western concourse connecting Perth Underground to the at-grade station, and modifications to the elevated eastern concourse.
The insertion of the underground concourse below 7 reconfigured train platforms, enables inter-connection with the 2 underground train platforms. Along the concourse intersecting with each platform; focal circulation nodes with new escalators/stairs/lifts and ventilation/light shafts enable the most efficient passenger flow and way-finding. The prismatic/triangular forms of the ventilation/light shafts integrate with and provide a new identity to the heritage station.
