It was great for the IWA team to test out the Forrestfield-Airport Link – one of WA’s newest infrastructure projects – which will change the way we get around our city.

Public Transport Authority Project Director, Dave Thomas, took IWA Board members and senior management on a tour, which started with the team boarding a test train at Perth Station and visiting each of the 3 new stations High Wycombe, Airport Central and Redcliffe along the eastern suburbs line.

The draft State Infrastructure Strategy was released on 21 July 2021 for public consultation over an 8 week period with submissions closing 15 September 2021. 

More than 2 years’ rigorous visioning, consultation and analysis has culminated today in the tabling of WA’s first State Infrastructure Strategy in Parliament.

The tabling of Foundations for a stronger tomorrow marks a major milestone for Infrastructure WA (IWA) and the beginning of a new chapter for infrastructure planning and delivery in the state.

Infrastructure WA (IWA) welcomed Infrastructure Australia (IA) to WA this week as part of their ongoing role of maintaining relationships with infrastructure bodies in other states and territories.
