      The project

      The Strategic Business Case will help to guide future investment decisions by outlining the economic, social and transport outcomes associated with options to improve public transport travel between Perth, Bunbury and surrounding areas.


       

      Next steps

      The joint federal and state funded planning study will consider a range of potential public transport links between Perth and Bunbury.


       

      This strategic business case is the first step in understanding what a faster rail transport link between Perth and Bunbury might look like. It will use population data, travel patterns, land use planning and other metrics to assess the project’s benefits, which will help guide us when making decisions about its development.
