Town Hall Station

We're building new underground stations in Melbourne's CBD at each end of Swanston Street.

Town Hall Station will improve access to some of Melbourne's most iconic tourist destinations including Federation Square, Southbank, Arts Centre Melbourne, St Paul's Cathedral and other culturally significant landmarks.

The new station will open in 2025 as part of the new line from Sunbury to Cranbourne / Pakenham.

Station location

Town Hall Station precinct map

Town Hall Station is located under Swanston Street, between Flinders Street and Collins Street, and has 3 main entrances: City Square, Federation Square and inside the new Town Hall Place development next to Young & Jackson.

The Town Hall Place entrance can be reached from Swanston Street, Cocker Alley, Scott Alley or Flinders Street.

The Degraves Street subway and Campbell Arcade will connect Town Hall and Flinders Street stations for a simple interchange without touching off and on again.

Station design

Town Hall Station will be a gateway to some of Melbourne’s most popular landmarks and destinations, and the surrounding precinct will be changed to take advantage of nearby laneways and open spaces.
