History
Joondalup station was built by Sabemo under a $5.2 million contract.[2] Construction began in November 1991.[3] Sabemo was awarded the main award at the state Master Builders Association's Excellence in Construction Awards in 1993 for the construction of Joondalup station.[4]
Joondalup station opened on 20 December 1992 as the interim terminus of the Joondalup line (now called the Yanchep line),[5] before being extended to Currambine in August 1993.[6]
In 2003, the contract for extending the platforms on seven Joondalup line stations, including Joondalup station, was awarded to Lakis Constructions. The platforms on these stations had to be extended by 50 metres (160 ft) to accommodate 150-metre (490 ft) long six-car trains, which were planned to enter service. Along with the extensions, the platform edges were upgraded to bring them into line with tactile paving standards.[7] Work on this station was done in mid-2004.[8]
