We’ll work during the day and at night from 7pm, Wednesday 9 December to 6am, Monday 14 December in the station area and in the rail corridor while trains aren’t running, to complete finishing and maintenance works.

What we're doing

While trains aren’t running, we’ll work during the day and at night in the station area and in the rail corridor to:

  • build a temporary access path for machinery to access the rail corridor
  • undertake work on the tracks between the station platforms
  • carry out signalling works within the rail corridor
  • restore landscaping and any areas impacted by the works

What to expect

While we work, you may notice:

  • moderate to high levels of noise at times
  • intermittent closures of the walking and cycling path from Ceremony Drive, with assistance from traffic management
  • temporary pedestrian detour on the southern side of the station between the main station entrance and the eastern stairs near Modern Crescent
  • temporary relocation of accessible car spaces
  • closure of approximately 60 car spaces, the remainder of the car park will be open during this time
  • lighting towers, work crews, worker vehicles, and specialised rail equipment on the rail tracks during night works. Lighting towers will be directed away from residential properties where possible
  • construction equipment entering the project site via Mainstay Boulevard (on the south) and Modesto Drive (on the north), including excavators and trucks
  • machinery entering the rail corridor via an access area east of Tarneit Road
  • increased truck movements and deliveries to the project area, as well as increased construction vehicles on local roads, including Leakes Road, Tarneit Road, Odessey Boulevard, Modesto Drive, Dohertys Road and Davis Road.

When we’ll work

We’ll work through day and night from 7pm Wednesday 9 December to 6am Monday 14 December 2026, in the station area and in the rail corridor to complete critical works for the station while trains aren’t running.

All impacted residents will be contacted in advance of the night works commencing.

Once these works are completed, we will carry out finishing works during the day, Monday to Friday until Friday 18 December.

We will return in January 2027 to complete any remaining finishing works on the northern side of the rail line. Landscaping maintenance will continue throughout 2027.

Where we’ll work

Works will occur within the station precinct and in the rail corridor between West Tarneit Station and Tarneit Road, on the north and south sides of the rail line.
