Meeting summary

Meeting 1 Monday 27 July 2026

The Sunshine Superhub Construction Liaison Group met for the first time to hear the latest updates about the Sunshine Superhub and discuss opportunities for ongoing community input.

The project team provided an overview of Melbourne Airport Rail Stage 1 including the proposed project area, early station designs and artist impressions of the future Sunshine Superhub.

Members heard that the designs will continue to be refined as the project progresses, with landscaping, public spaces, accessibility and connections to the surrounding area forming an important part of the next stage of design.

The group also received an update on current and upcoming works, including activities associated with the jet fuel pipeline and discussed how the project will work to minimise impacts on the local community during construction.

Topics discussed included:

• station accessibility, including lifts and pedestrian connections
• pedestrian and cycling connections around the station precinct
• landscaping, greening and opportunities to retain trees
• environmental areas and vegetation
• heritage considerations, including the former signal box
• construction impacts on pedestrians, cyclists, road users and nearby businesses
• traffic management and maintaining access during construction
• safety, lighting and security
• impacts on traders and local businesses
• land acquisition and project boundaries
• how the community will be informed about upcoming works.

Community members also shared the topics they would like to continue discussing as the project progresses, including heritage, accessibility, active transport, environmental outcomes, traffic management, local business impacts and maintaining community access during construction.
