The iconic Whiteman Park electric tram network is set to be extended to the new Whiteman Park train station being built as part of the METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook Line.

The project includes 1.6 kilometres of new tram line, extending east from the existing heritage line. A new platform will be built south of the new train station.

METRONET is partnering with North Metropolitan TAFE to provide rail industry students with hands-on training opportunities during project delivery. The project is also being delivered in partnership with the Perth Electrical Tramway Society (PETS) and through support and donations from industry representatives.

The line extension is expected to be in operation when the 21-kilometre Morley-Ellenbrook Line opens later this year.
