2 March 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 March, we’ll continue working on the station platforms, pedestrian underpass, bus interchange and commuter car park.

What we’re doing

Throughout March and early April, we’ll:

  • continue electrical works on the new platforms
  • prepare works areas to pour concrete for the ramps and pathways
  • continue building the bus interchange, including kerb installation and road base construction
  • continue building the commuter car park and cycling and pedestrian pathways
  • install light poles in the commuter car park, including drilling light pole foundations
  • build the stairs to the new platforms
  • continue installing the station forecourt shelters on both sides of the rail line
  • install a radio tower on the south side of the precinct
  • install the Parkiteer (secure bicycle storage), 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
  • light towers in the works areas at night. When in use, lighting will be directed away from residential properties.

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

  • From 8pm on Sunday 15 March until 6am on Wednesday 18 March 2026 we’ll work at night to carry out essential works in the rail corridor while trains aren’t running. We’ll carry out low impact works on the platforms and in the rail corridor near Haven Park, east of Tarneit Road, and Stacey Parade, west of Davis Road with hand tools.
  • Coaches will replace evening trains during this time, visit the V/Line website for more information.

At other times, 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.
