The latest phase of community consultation on Suburban Rail Loop kicked off this week, with the opening of a virtual engagement room.
People interested in learning about Suburban Rail Loop can explore information boards around the room, read fact sheets and ask questions of our project specialists to understand what Stage 1 of Suburban Rail Loop will mean for their area.
The platform will also enable people to provide feedback about the potential impacts of the project, including the design and construction considerations that are important to them. Information in the virtual room will continue to be updated as the project progresses.
Building our future
This next phase of consultation will allow people to have a say on how the project shapes their local community in the future. Suburban Rail Loop is a critical investment in Victoria’s long-term liveability and will support Melbourne’s continued growth to a global city of up to 9 million people by 2050.
Connecting Melbourne
Stage 1 will connect our growing health, education, retail, and employment precincts in Melbourne’s south east, via 26km twin underground rail tunnels. Future stages will see the line continue through Melbourne’s northern suburbs to Melbourne Airport and around to Werribee.
Stage 1 includes 6 new underground stations, with the proposed locations near Southland, adjacent to Monash and Deakin universities, in the centre of Box Hill and Glen Waverley, and a major transport hub built north of Carinish Road, Clayton, connecting regional passengers to the Loop. The Stage 1 alignment will be subject to an Environment Effects Statement (EES), and local communities and stakeholders will have opportunities to input into this process.
