Media summary

Nicholson Road Station (Noongar place name Waitj-biddi, meaning ‘the emu tracks’) is located on Noongar Boodjar (country) and is one of two new stations and three existing station upgrades delivered as part of the new METRONET Thornlie-Cockburn line.

The design for the station is a striking response to its location with the entry building and pedestrian overpass providing distinct and clearly identifiable entry points to the Station and support intuitive wayfinding.

Identified as a key location for infill development, Nicholson Road Station will drive the implementation of higher density transit-oriented development that will contribute to the sustainable future growth of Perth and surrounds.

The station has been designed with consideration for future use around the station, including the pedestrian overpass design which accommodates the potential for a future extension further to the north-west across to facilitate future potential redevelopment of the adjacent site.
