Location

Location of Noranda station

Noranda railway station is a suburban rail station that is part of the Transperth network. It opened in 2024 as a station on the Ellenbrook line, serving the Perth suburbs of Beechboro, Kiara and Noranda. It is in the median of Tonkin Highway, just north of Benara Road.

History

In August 2019, the location of the station was revealed. In November 2019, Metronet did a community survey to decide where to put the station car park. The three options were south-west, north-west or north-east of Benara Road and Tonkin Highway. In the end, the north-east option was the most preferred option, with 66% of respondents preferring that option. The reasons included that it does not require a signalised intersection unlike the other options, and it had the largest amount of car bays of the three options.^[1]^[2]

In September 2020, Laing O'Rourke was announced as the preferred proponent for the construction of the Ellenbrook railway line.^[3]^[4]

The station and the rest of the line were officially opened on Sunday, 8 December 2024 by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Premier Roger Cook and Transport Minister Rita Saffioti, with community events held at each of the five new stations.^[5]^[6]^[7]

Station design

Noranda railway station is just north of Benara Road in the Tonkin Highway median, similar to many stations along the Yanchep and Mandurah lines. Passengers will access the station by either a walkway to the Benara Road bridge or a walkway across Tonkin Highway to the carpark. The carpark will be located east of Tonkin Highway and be accessed via Benara Road. It will have 400 car bays and a drop off zone. Two bus stands will be located on Benara Road. A pedestrian underpass under Benara Road allows pedestrians to safely and easily access the station and bus stop. Facilities at the station include passenger toilets and a kiosk.^[8]

Services

Noranda is served by Transperth Trains operating along the Ellenbrook line to Perth and Ellenbrook railway stations. It is projected that a journey to Perth will take 18 minutes. Noranda station is in fare zone 2.^[8] Noranda station is projected to have 1,810 passenger boardings per day in 2031.^[9]
