With approximately 72 kilometres of new passenger rail and 22 new stations, METRONET is a catalyst to turn more than 8,000 hectares of land around new stations into desirable places to live, work and play.
More than a transport program of projects, METRONET also provides long-term legacies for the communities by implementing program strategies through Gnarla Biddi (Aboriginal Engagement), Sustainability and Public Art.
As part of the long-term legacies METRONET seeks to support community outreach activities to promote student engagement in science, technology, education and maths (STEM) education. This will not only support the operation of our infrastructure in the future, but have the skills to build more projects in the future.
