Project Introduction
Georgiou, in alliance with McConnell Dowell, Arcadis Australia and BG&E, is delivering the design and construct contract for METRONET‘s new Midland Station
The new location brings the station closer to the Midland CBD, improving access between the station and important sites such as the Midland Health Centre and Midland Gate Shopping Centre.
The new station is expected to initially see 3,300 passenger boardings a day, growing to 3,700 by 2031.
