The new Ellenbrook Station, being built as part of the METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook Line Project, has achieved a 6 Star Green Star - Railway Stations v1.1 certification, making it the highest rated under this tool.

The rating is equivalent to world leadership in sustainable design and construction.

Project Sustainability Lead Virginia Castellano acknowledged the efforts of the team in achieving the rating.  

“This outstanding achievement demonstrates we are delivering world-leading sustainable transport infrastructure right here in Western Australia,” Virginia said.

“It is a testament to the efforts of everyone involved, and it is through team collaboration that we have set a new standard for sustainability excellence in Australia”.

The rating was achieved by utilising innovative materials, reducing energy and water consumption through construction and operation, incorporating Indigenous design and native plants, and design elements to ensure the station is safe and accessible.

The rating, and sustainability initiatives across the Morley-Ellenbrook Line Project demonstrate METRONET’s commitment to achieving outcomes under the METRONET Sustainability Strategy with a focus on delivering projects in an economically, socially and environmentally responsible manner.

The Morley-Ellenbrook Line is set to start servicing passengers later this year.
