As part of Melbourne Airport Rail Stage 1: West Footscray to Albion Rail Upgrade the project will deliver major changes to the rail network around Sunshine Station that will enable a rail line to the airport and pave the way for electrification to Melton, by creating a Sunshine Superhub.
The concept designs incorporate features of the Sunshine Station Masterplan, enabling a major refresh of the Sunshine Station precinct and unlocking opportunities for future development.
The upgraded Sunshine Station Precinct will feature:
- New walking and cycling links creating better community connections
- New City Place Plaza featuring landscaped open space
- New station forecourt with open space and landscaping
- Two new regional platforms and station concourse
- Additional lifts to improve accessibility and safety to platforms
- Upgraded station carpark with dedicated pick-up and drop-off zone near station entrance
- A bicycle parkiteer, providing secure parking for cyclists
- Bus interchange upgrades
- Security cameras and improved lighting
We are seeking community feedback on the new designs, featuring elements of the Sunshine Station Masterplan and the amended project boundary. Visit Engage Victoria to have your say.
