Site investigations will be undertaken in Mount Waverley in preparation for early construction on Suburban Rail Loop (SRL).

SRL East from Cheltenham to Box Hill will reduce travel times and link people to major employment, health, education and retail destinations in Melbourne’s east and south east.

The new SRL station at Glen Waverley will be one of the best-connected on the network – giving locals improved access to key destinations across Melbourne.

What are site investigations

Site investigations help the project team better understand important information about the underlying ground conditions and where utilities and services are located.

This data informs the project's design, planning, and construction methods used.

Underground site investigations will be undertaken at Damper Creek Reserve from early August.

Site investigation activities include:

• Using equipment to drill and dig into the ground
