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

The new West Tarneit Station is now open. The station includes a 4-bay bus interchange, parking for up to 400 commuters, and an accessible pedestrian underpass. The station also features a welcoming and well-lit precinct, with landscaping, seating, separated walking and cycling paths, bike hoops and secure bike storage.

In September and October, we'll continue to carry out finishing works around the station precinct and start removing the site compound south of the rail line.

What we're doing

Throughout September and October, we’ll:

  • carry out finishing works around the station precinct
  • carry out ongoing landscaping maintenance
  • start to remove the site compound south of the rail line.

What to expect

While we work during the day, you may notice:

  • Low to moderate levels of noise, whilst we carry out completion works and removal of the site compound.
  • Construction machinery, including trucks and cranes, entering the project site and moving around the project area via Leakes Road, Tarneit Road, Dohertys Road, Davis Road, and the rail corridor access track (from Tarneit Road).
  • Intermittent closures of pedestrian paths and ramps in and near the station.

When we’ll work

  • From 8pm, Sunday 27 September to 6am, Wednesday 30 September 2026 we’ll work each night to carry out finishing works along the station platforms and around the station precinct.
  • Coaches will replace evening trains on the Geelong Line for V/Line maintenance works from Sunday 27 to Tuesday 29 September. Please visit the V/Line website for more information.

At other times, we’ll continue to work:

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

Where we’ll work

We’ll be working around the station precinct, located on Mainstay Boulevard and on the north and south sides of the rail line and in the rail corridor. Dates are subject to change for reasons which include poor weather conditions.
