Perth Stadium has released a video demonstrating the transport options for accessing the new 60,000-seat venue in Western Australia.
Transport minister Bill Marmion said the video of the A$358m (US$274m) Perth Stadium Transport Solution was more than just an impressive vision of things to come.
“This shows how easy it will be for people to catch public transport, walk, catch a coach or on-demand transport to where the action is,” Marmion said. “The video will help people keen to attend events at the new Perth Stadium plan their journeys ahead of time, and ensure they pick the travel option which best suits them.
“Great experiences are as much about the journey as the destination, and that’s something we’ve taken into account when developing the travel options.
“Whether it’s a picturesque walk across the Swan River pedestrian bridge, a cycle through the lush native gardens surrounding the Perth Stadium, or a relaxed trip on the train to the landmark Perth Stadium Station, there is an option to suit everyone.
“The Stadium Station itself will have capacity to move about 28,000 patrons in the first hour after an event.”
Construction on the transport infrastructure will create up to 1,350 direct jobs, with the station expected to be completed in mid 2017 to allow for extensive testing and commissioning before opening with the Perth Stadium.
