Placemaking

The Morley-Ellenbrook Line will give people living in Perth’s north-eastern suburbs more transport options and provide new opportunities for living and working.

With a potential future station planned for Bennett Springs East, a local structure plan is being developed for the surrounding area in consultation with stakeholders including local and state government and landowners..

The draft plan will be released for public comment anticipated to be around mid-2021, before being finalised with consideration for the feedback received.

Once completed, the Bennett Springs East Station Precinct Local Structure Plan will guide decision-making on future planning and development proposals.

The future Morley Station, part of the Morley-Ellenbrook Line, will give people living in Morley, Embleton and the northern section of Bayswater more transport options and provide new opportunities for living and working within walking distance of the station.

To make the most of this once in a lifetime investment, the draft Morley Station Precinct Concept Master Plan is being developed in consultation with the City of Bayswater, and with input from the community and other stakeholders.

The draft plan sets the high-level roadmap for planning around the station, to enhance connections in the area and to Morley Galleria and was developed based on: 

• Community survey feedback with 262 responses about what you wanted to see in the area around Morley Station 
• Detailed feedback from three Community Reference Group workshops 
• Stakeholder engagement, particularly with the City of Bayswater
• METRONET’s Gnarla Biddi, Sustainability and Public Art strategies
• Urban design and planning analysis for the area.

The draft Morley Station Precinct Concept Master Plan is now available for public comment. Your feedback will help inform the final plan, expected to be approved in 2021.
