The METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook Line Project swept the board at the recent Australian Institute of Architects Western Australian Architecture Awards, taking out four accolades.
METRONET was awarded Western Australia’s highest architectural honour, the George Temple Poole Award.
The team behind the Morley-Ellenbrook Line Project also took home the Wallace Greenham Award for Sustainable Architecture, the Colorbond Award for Steel Architecture, and the Public Architecture Award.
The 21km Morley-Ellenbrook line was Perth’s largest public transport project since the Mandurah Line.
Designed by Woods Bagot with Taylor Robinson Chaney Broderick (TRCB), TCL and UDLA, the project delivered five new stations and precincts at Morley, Noranda, Ballajura, Whiteman Park and Ellenbrook.
The stations along the line make an outstanding contribution to the social and public infrastructure of a rapidly growing area of the city, the awards jury said.
It praised the project for setting “an impressive new sustainability benchmark for government infrastructure in Australia, and for being an exemplar of public transport and community facilities, with the end-user experience at the forefront of the design.”
