Works are ramping up on the new Lakelands Train Station.
The station will bridge the 23km distance between Warnbro and Mandurah stations for those living in growing surrounding suburbs such as Madora Bay, Lakelands and Meadow Springs.
Work is underway to prepare the site for a major bridge lift next month, where the station's 50 tonne, 15.5 metre long concourse bridge will be crane-lifted into place.
As the station's two train platforms begin to take shape, work to install the elevator shaft and 60 pre-cast concrete panels is also underway.
This infrastructure will support the future station entry and bus interchange buildings.
Bulk earthworks are also continuing across the site to facilitate construction of the car park and the bus interchange.
Track drainage works and the installation of below-ground stormwater pipework and electrical services are also progressing.
"Lakelands Station is another important part of changes to the Peel transport network and it is exciting to see how much work has been achieved to date and how many new construction milestones are approaching in the coming months - such as the concourse bridge lift," Transport Minister Rita Saffioti said.
"A growing number of families are choosing to call the suburbs surrounding Lakelands Station home and this new train station, complete with bus interchange and car park, will give them more options when it comes to their travelling needs."
The station is expected to open in 2023.
