The contract for the Forrestfield–Airport Link, which consists of 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) of twin bored tunnels and three new stations, was awarded to Salini Impregilo and NRW Pty Ltd in April 2016.Forward works, which included the permanent closure of Brearley Avenue between Great Eastern Highway and Dunreath Drive, began in 2016.The station is within the residential area of Redcliffe, about 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) west of terminals three and four of Perth Airport.[1] It is owned by the Public Transport Authority (PTA), a state government agency, and is part of the Transperth system.[3] The station's distance to terminals three and four has been criticised,[4] with it being justified by there being plans for the relocation of Qantas to the Airport Central precinct[5][6] from 2031.The Forrestfield-Airport Link Project Definition Plan, released in August 2014, had the station located in the residential area of Redcliffe instead of in the airport.For the most part, the Forrestfield-Airport Link project came under one contract, worth A$1.176 billion and awarded to Salini Impregilo and NRW Pty Ltd.[11][12] The station was planned to be constructed over the Brearley Avenue right of way, requiring the permanent closure of that road between Great Eastern Highway and Dunreath Drive.The state government launched a survey in October 2017 to decide whether to call it Belmont or Redcliffe station.[36][37] On 18 December 2018, Transport Minister Rita Saffioti announced the opening date of the project had been delayed from 2020 to 2021.[10] Route 39 runs to Elizabeth Quay bus station via Belmont Forum Shopping Centre.
