Proposals are now open to transform the site of the proposed METRONET Karnup Station in the City of Rockingham into a thriving community hub.

The Karnup Station Precinct Problem and Opportunity Statement has been released with feedback sought from interested parties in building a new station, and transit-oriented community and precinct in one of the State's highest growing suburbs.

The opportunity will integrate high-frequency public transport with approximately 35 hectares of underutilised land perfect for new homes, community facilities and public open space.

Proposals will need to consider the unique environmental characteristics of the precinct including fauna and flora and incorporate water sensitive design initiatives.

Submissions for the Karnup Problem and Opportunity Statement close on 17 July 2023 and can be made by visiting TendersWA.
