Metronet Recognized for Sustainability and Design Excellence

Woods Bagot led the architectural design in collaboration with Taylor Robinson Chaney Broderick (TRCB), TCL, and UDLA. Their team focused on blending modern aesthetics with community functionality.

The Metronet project also earned the Wallace Greenham Award for Sustainable Architecture, the Colorbond Award for Steel Architecture, and the Public Architecture Award.

The awards jury praised the line’s design for enhancing social infrastructure and elevating the travel experience through user-focused planning and inviting public spaces.

They described it as a benchmark for sustainability in government infrastructure and an exemplary model of integrated urban development.

Metronet Project Enhances Urban Transit and Community Spaces

The architecture emphasizes efficient passenger movement, accessible platforms, and climate-conscious construction materials.

By integrating transport and urban growth, the project sets a new design standard for infrastructure in Western Australia.

Metronet not only improves transit access but also creates livable spaces that reflect community values and future needs.

Its recognition across four categories signals a shift toward transport hubs that serve people and place, not just movement.

With sustainability and usability at its core, the initiative reflects a modern vision for city development and transit design.
