- Stage 1 civil works commencing near High Wycombe Station to progress METRONET East vision
- The precinct will evolve into a mix of residential, commercial, retail and civic uses
- The wider precinct will eventually yield more than 1,000 new homes
Stage 1 civil works are now underway near the High Wycombe Station, progressing the METRONET East vision and supporting the Cook Labor Government's housing diversity and affordability goals.
The 10.64hectare parcel within the broader 61 hectare area immediately east of High Wycombe Train Station, along Sultana Road West, is being developed by DevelopmentWA into a vibrant new precinct.
The 10.64 ha area is planned to deliver welllocated housing, complemented by a community and recreational hub and mixed-use spaces that meet local needs while generating employment and economic opportunities for the wider region.
Stage 1 civil works include construction of a new central connector road linking the High Wycombe Train Station and Milner Road, together with the installation of key services needed to support residential development and the future proposed High Wycombe Community Hub.
The appointed contractor is RJ Vincent, with the first stage anticipated for completion in early 2027.
The High Wycombe Project Area forms part of METRONET East, which encompasses precincts around the new High Wycombe, Bayswater and Midland stations.

As stated by Planning and Lands Minister John Carey:
"This project will deliver substantial benefits to Perth's growing eastern corridor with more housing, leisure and job opportunities right near a new METRONET station.
"Through DevelopmentWA, our government is delivering a 10.64 hectare infill development surrounding the High Wycombe Train Station.
It will drive activation, support a proposed community hub, and provide new housing opportunities for the area."
As stated by Transport Minister Rita Saffioti:
"METRONET is unlocking opportunities for new housing and creating new communities around our stations.
"The start of civil works at High Wycombe is a major milestone and shows how we're turning that vision into reality.
"We're creating more opportunities for people to live close to public transport, with better access to jobs, services and community facilities."
As stated by Forrestfield MLA Stephen Price:
"The new High Wycombe Station has been transformative for our area.
"I'm proud to be part of a government that is building on the success of the station, ensuring the surrounding area is well-serviced for locals and provides more housing choice."
