There is potential for medium and high-density housing developments around the stations, fostering European-style town centers.

The jury praised the stations for their significant contribution to the social and public infrastructure of Perth, highlighting their sustainability and focus on user experience.

David Donaldon, head of the local chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects, noted that the stations will encourage higher-density living close to transit, reducing reliance on cars.

Designed by Woods Bagot in collaboration with Taylor Robinson Chaney Broderick, TCL, and UDLA, the stations include Morley, Noranda, Ballajura, Whiteman Park, and Ellenbrook.

Overall, the railway line and its stations are well-received for their aesthetic quality and functional design, marking a positive shift in Perth's urban landscape.

The project is seen as a transformative step towards creating a more sustainable, human-centered urban design in Perth, moving away from car dependency.

The stations are designed to accommodate Perth's growing population, featuring wide platforms and inviting designs that blend with their surroundings.

Judges praised the project for its significant contribution to social infrastructure and setting new sustainability benchmarks.

The train line, funded by $1.65 billion from the Commonwealth and state governments, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in December 2024.

The Ruah Centre for Women and Children, designed by Architectus, was another notable project recognized at the awards, winning the Jeffrey Howlett Award for Public Architecture and the Brian Kidd Enabling Architecture Prize.

The jury commended the Ruah Centre as an elegantly designed building that provides dignity and empowerment to its clients, allowing them to rebuild their lives.

The Morley-Ellenbrook train line project, spanning 21 kilometers and featuring five new stations, has won four prestigious awards, including the major George Temple Poole Award, at the Australian Institute of Architects' state awards ceremony held on June 13, 2025.
