We are delivering stage 1 of Melbourne Airport Rail, with the Australian and Victorian governments investing more than $4 billion to deliver 6km of major rail upgrades from West Footscray to Albion. The works will include transforming Sunshine into a transport superhub and building new modern and accessible stations at Tottenham and Albion.

In June, we will work on the shared use paths north and south of Sunshine Station, as part of the works to relocate the jet fuel pipeline.

What we're doing

• Installing in-ground protection for the new jet fuel pipeline
• Undertaking service investigations
• Tree removal beside the shared use path at Harvester Road

What to expect

• Work crews, machinery and construction vehicles (including trucks) in the area
• Medium levels of construction noise at various times, as well as dust and vibration
• Traffic management to safely facilitate works
