2 February 2026

We’re building West Tarneit Station to better connect the growing suburbs of the west to Melbourne’s CBD.

When the new V/Line station opens in 2026, it will include a 4-bay bus interchange, parking for up to 400 commuters, and an accessible pedestrian underpass. The new West Tarneit Station will also feature a welcoming and well-lit precinct, with landscaping, seating, separated walking and cycling paths, bike hoops and secure bike storage.

In January, we carried out major works through the day and night while trains weren’t running, including constructing the new West Tarneit Station platforms and pedestrian underpass, installing the platform roof canopies and replacing rail tracks in the project area.

We thank the community for their patience during these works in January to build the new station.

What we’re doing next

Throughout February and early March 2026, we’ll:

  • continue working on the new platforms, pedestrian underpass and ramps
  • continue constructing the bus interchange, including electrical works and installing light poles
  • continue constructing the commuter car park and cycling and pedestrian pathways
  • install stairs to the new platforms
  • install station forecourt shelters on both sides of the rail line
  • prepare to install the Parkiteer (secure bicycle storage)
  • install the new Protective Services Officer building and the station communications room

What to expect

While we work, you may notice:

  • low to moderate levels of noise, dust and vibration. Dust and vibration are actively monitored daily on site, and water carts are used across the site to help supress dust.
  • construction machinery entering the project site and moving around the project area via Leakes Road, Modesto Drive, Tarneit Road, Odessey Boulevard, Dohertys Road, Davis Road, and the rail corridor access track (from Tarneit Road). Construction vehicles include excavators, rollers, trucks, cranes, drilling rigs and graders.

As part of our safety requirements while working near the rail line, we will use a device that makes a loud ‘bang’ sound as trains approach the worksite, which warns workers a train is approaching. You may notice these loud bangs intermittently during daytime work hours while construction is taking place.

When we’ll work

  • Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm
  • Saturdays 7am to 1pm (as required)

Where we’ll work

We’ll be working in the project area, near the corner of Leakes and Davis roads, on the north and south sides of the rail line.
