History
The contract for the construction of Bull Creek railway station, along with Canning Bridge railway station and Murdoch railway station, was awarded to John Holland Pty Ltd in November 2004. This contract was the first contract awarded for the construction of stations on the Southern Suburbs Railway project, and it had a value of A$32 million,[1] equivalent to A$50.4 million in 2022.
During planning, the station was projected to have 3,100 boardings per day upon opening.[2]
Bull Creek railway station is situated in the Kwinana Freeway median strip, with the platforms aligned perpendicular to Leach Highway. It also features integrated bus services on the concourse level; the exterior in front of the concourse operates as a bus station. The station, officially called Bull Creek Station comprising the railway and bus stations, opened along with the rest of the Mandurah line on 23 December 2007.[3][4][5]
