The METRONET Byford Rail Extension project extended the existing Armadale Line from Armadale to Byford in Western Australia, providing residents in Byford and the wider Serpentine-Jarrahdale area with a strong transport connection, supporting economic growth and providing greater access to jobs, services and amenities.
The project included:
- A new Principal Shard Path from Armadale to Byford supporting active transport modes into Perth
- Extending the Armadale Line approximately 8km south to a new ground-level station in Byford, supporting one of the fastest-growing areas in Australia
- Rebuilding Armadale Station as an elevated station with three nearby busy level crossings removed and replaced with elevated rail
- Removing other level crossings between Armadale and Byford with alternative treatments to improve traffic flow and ease road congestion
- A new ground-level station in Byford
- Bus interchanges at Armadale and Byford stations
- Parking areas at Armadale and Byford stations
Aurum Engineering has provided electrical engineering support to the MetCONNX Alliance for Amardale and Byford stations, as well line-wide components enabling electrification and integration between the rail corridor and the station precincts. Construction was completed in December 2025.
