The emergency support facility will be a critical element of SRL East from Cheltenham to Box Hill. It plays an important role in keeping passengers safe and keeping the network moving.

The emergency support facility will house important infrastructure, including an intervention and ventilation facility and back-up control centre, which are essential to the safe operation of SRL East.

The emergency support facility will be built on High Street Road between Kiers Avenue and Elm Grove in Mount Waverley.

The rail infrastructure for SRL East, including the emergency support facility, will be assessed through an Environment Effects Statement (EES).
