Malaga railway station is a proposed railway station for the Transperth network. It is set to start construction in 2021, and open in 2023-24 as a station on the Morley–Ellenbrook railway line, serving the Perth suburbs of Alexander Heights, Ballajura, Bennett Springs, Landsdale and Malaga.

Station design[]

The design for Malaga railway station was revealed on 4 September 2021. Metronet said that it was "designed to be a 'station within a park'", and that "it draws influence from the surrounding parklands in Whiteman Park, Lightning Park and the banksia bushlands."[1][2]

The station's platforms are to be built in a trench below ground level, with the station entrance at ground level. A large car park and a bus interchange will be located south-east of the station. The car park will have 1,100 car bays and a drop off area. The bus interchange will have 12 bus stands. Facilities at the station include a kiosk, toilets and lifts to platform level.[3]

The station will be constructed on a greenfield land between Beechboro Road North, Marshall Road and Tonkin Highway in the suburb of Whiteman, allowing for future development around the station.[3]

Services[]

Malaga station will be served by Transperth Trains operating along the Morley–Ellenbrook railway line to Perth and Ellenbrook railway stations. It is projected that a journey to Perth will take 21 minutes. Malaga station is in fare zone 2.[3] Malaga station is projected to have 3,084 passenger boardings per day in 2031.[4]
