Under this project, Stirling Bus Interchange will be refurbished and upgraded from 18-stand facility to a 30-stand bus interchange with an investment of $64.8m (A$90m).
Phase II of Stephenson Avenue Extension project will be executed by S2M Evolution Alliance, which is a consortium comprising Acciona, Clough and WSP.
The consortium will also be responsible to build a new road that will link Sarich Court to Cedric Street east of the freeway, as well as will create a new Principal Shared Path (PSP) on the east side of the Mitchell Freeway from Telford Crescent to Civic Place.

By GlobalDataWA Transport Minister Rita Saffioti said: “The Stephenson Avenue Extension project is upgrading local roads, public transport and cycling and walking infrastructure.
“This will completely change the way local residents and visitors can access the area, while also opening up currently undeveloped land directly adjacent to the Stirling Train Station and the Mitchell Freeway.
“Like all major projects, there will be some disruptions to the area when the freeway and bus interchanges are constructed. We apologise in advance for this inconvenience while we are building the infrastructure for tomorrow.”
The project will see the creation of 800 new employment opportunities in the region.
Last month, City of Stirling completed Stephenson Avenue Extension Phase I, which created an alternative route for commuters travelling to Ellen Stirling Boulevard and Scarborough Beach Road via new roads Howe Street and Oswald Street.
