In May 2020 the new Office of Major Transport Infrastructure Delivery (OMTID) was established to take over control and management of the construction of major road and METRONET rail projects, generally defined as those projects with a budget of more than $100 million.

The following projects were transitioned to OMTID for delivery:

• Thornlie-Cockburn Link (TCL) Project;

• Morley-Ellenbrook Line (MEL) Project;
• Bayswater Station and Turnback Upgrade (BST) Project;

These projects are currently either in the Delivery phase or transitioning from planning into Delivery, pending final Project Definition phase approval and Cabinet endorsement.
