The Metro Tunnel Creative Program curated artworks and events to enhance Melbourne city life alongside the construction of the Metro Tunnel.
These temporary creative works contributed to offsetting the disruption across our worksites, keeping Melbourne a vibrant and attractive destination during our works.
The focus of the program was to encourage community interaction with construction sites and support local businesses at the coalface between site boundaries and where city life begins. The program supported the objectives in the Metro Tunnel Creative Strategy.
