Bayswater Station

Bayswater Station (Biraliny) is a key component of METRONET, Western Australia's ambitious program to upgrade Perth’s train network. Designed by Hassell and constructed by Evolve Bayswater (Acciona and the Public Transport Authority), the project was a complex undertaking focused on modernising the ageing station. The upgraded Station encourages greater public transport use, featuring a new bus interchange integrated into the station precinct to seamlessly connect rail and bus services. It also significantly improves cycling and pedestrian access, enhancing the overall connectivity and accessibility of the area.

Cundall’s ESD team was appointed to provide all necessary assessments to achieve a 6 Star Green Star Railway Station rating and ensure alignment with METRONET’s wider sustainability strategy. Key sustainability features include a 95kW PV system, high-efficiency water fixtures, thoughtful wayfinding and passenger safety measures, interactive public artwork, and extensive vegetated areas incorporated into the precinct.

Oliver Grimaldi commented: “Every decision behind the station’s design has been driven by sustainability, from integrating local bus and cycling infrastructure to reduce reliance on car ownership, to selecting resilient vegetation that require minimal irrigation.”
