Investment and expansion
In 2017, Byford was home to 16,326* people. By 2036, its estimated over 33,890** people will live here. To meet the transport needs of this rapidly expanding area, the State and Federal governments are investing heavily in infrastructure.
As part of the $885 million Metronet program, the Armadale rail line is being extended to Byford. The station is scheduled to open by late 2024. Roads are also getting a major upgrade, with $775 million being invested to extend the Tonkin Highway. Byford is already well connected, being an easy 15-minute drive from the Freeway which spans Perth from north to south. With an investment of over $1.5 billion in transportation links, it’s only going to get even better.
