Lakelands Station was officially opened on 11 June 2023, taking pressure off nearby Mandurah and Warnbro stations, while also reducing congestion on roads, and providing passengers with a 50-minute commute to the CBD.
The Noongar place name for Lakelands is Yaakanap and the narrative is ‘Place of the Yaakan (turtle)’.
Lakelands Station is ‘future-proofed’ to allow additional facilities such as escalators, more lifts, a kiosk, fare gates, and a customer service office to be installed in the future, once demand requires these.
