A brand-new industry network in Monash linking the area’s world-leading organisations will drive innovation, collaboration and jobs growth, with support from Suburban Rail Loop (SRL).
The Monash Precinct Network founding members include Monash University, CSIRO, the Australian Synchrotron and the City of Monash.
Monash is already the largest hub for employment and innovation outside Melbourne’s CBD and the SRL station at Monash will deliver a direct train connection to the area for the first time - turbo-charging jobs growth.
The broad area around the Monash SRL station will boom, with an additional 19,000 jobs when SRL East opens. By 2056, jobs are expected to increase by almost 350%.
The station will improve access to world-class education, health and research facilities, delivering important transport connections – spurring even more economic growth, employment and housing and helping to attract and retain leading global firms.
SRL is also funding a series of free local events for the Monash Precinct Network as part of the SRL Community Projects Fund. World-renowned experts will lead the conversation on three key topics to inspire and connect local researchers and organisations - Jobs of the Future, Mobility of the Future and Innovation and Materials of the Future.
Construction of SRL East is underway, with works starting soon in Monash. Trains will be running by 2035.
