The first CTC installation in Australia was commissioned in September 1957 on the [[Glen Waverley railway line|Glen Waverley line]] in suburban [[Melbourne]]. {{convert|6|mi|km}} in length, it was installed by the [[Victorian Railways]] as a prototype for the [[North East railway line|North East standard project]].<ref name=vrto62>{{cite book | author = Leo J.

In June 1959, the [[Western Australian Government Railways]] completed installation of Australia's first large-scale application of CTC, on the {{Track gauge|3ft6in|lk=on}} [[South Western Railway, Western Australia|South Western Railway]], which links {{rwsA|Perth}} with [[Old Bunbury railway station|Bunbury]]. Upon its completion, that CTC system covered the {{cvt|39|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} portion of [[Single-track railway|single-track line]] between {{rwsA|Armadale|P}}, on Perth's south eastern outskirts, and {{rwsA|Pinjarra}}, further south.<ref name="rt 1959-08">{{cite journal |author=<!--not stated--> |title=Track Capacity Improved, Operating Costs Lowered With New CTC Plant |journal=Railway Transportation |date=August 1959 |pages=36-38,44 |url=https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10160239224773553&set=pcb.2880321552106351 |access-date=23 June 2024}}</ref>{{rp|36-38}}
