Yanchep railway station[1] is a proposed station on the Joondalup Line in Perth, Western Australia that is being delivered as part of the Metronet Yanchep rail extension project. It will be located approximately 14.5 km (9.01 mi) north of the current terminus of the line at Butler, in the northern Perth suburb of Yanchep. Construction of the station is expected to start in 2021, and conclude in 2023.[2]

The station will include a bus interchange with 14 weather-protected stands with its flexible design meaning buses can drop passengers either internally to the bus station or externally near commercial development. The station also will hold approximately 1000 parking bays, with a dedicated passenger drop-off area.[3]

The station will be situated east of Marmion Avenue and will be accessed off the future Toreopango Avenue, as part of the Yanchep City Centre development developed by the Yanchep Beach Joint Venture. Approximately 11,032 daily boardings are predicted at Yanchep Station in 2031. The station will have two 150-metre-long (490 ft) platforms.[1] Services to Perth will be provided by Transperth Trains, with the journey to take approximately 49 minutes.

At the 2021–22 State Budget, it was announced that the Yanchep rail extension had been deferred by 12 months, as a result of Western Australia's skills shortage. This was alongside the deferment of 15 other state government infrastructure projects. The revised opening date is late 2023.[4][5][6]

Foundation works on the station began in December 2021.[7][8]
