The Stephenson Avenue extension will provide a new link between Scarborough Beach Road and Mitchell Freeway, joining the existing Stephenson Avenue from Jon Sanders Drive and Scarborough Beach Road to the State’s freeway network.

Phase one of the project, which was delivered by the City of Stirling and opened in February 2022, included construction of a new road from Scarborough Beach Road to Sarich Court with connections to Ellen Stirling Boulevard at Howe and Oswald Streets.

Work on phase two, which will be delivered by Main Roads WA and extend Stephenson Avenue from Sarich Court to Mitchell Freeway and Cedric Street, is underway.

Main Roads WA will also deliver the Stirling Bus Interchange upgrade on behalf of the Public Transport Authority as part of phase two. The upgrade consists of increasing the capacity from an 18-stand bus station to a modern 30-stand bus interchange along with the construction of a new pedestrian access between Stirling Station and the southern car park.
