Our city and state are growing. Melbourne will be a city of 9 million people by the 2050’s – the size of London today.

We need more transport and more homes in the right places – and Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) will deliver both.

As both a transport and urban planning project, it will connect our suburbs, slash travel times and ensure our city grows in the right places. SRL will support the delivery of more homes and housing choice where people want to live – on the doorstep of world-class public transport, services, jobs, schools, parks and cafés.

Linking every major train service from the Frankston Line to the Werribee Line via Melbourne Airport, SRL will transform our public transport network - better connecting Victorians to employment, hospitals, universities and each other. Regional passengers won’t have to travel through the CBD to get where they need to go with transport super hubs at Clayton, Broadmeadows and Sunshine.

Construction of SRL East from Cheltenham to Box Hill started in 2022, with works now powering ahead at all 6 stations sites. Planning is well underway to ensure the neighbourhoods around these stations are vibrant and thriving communities for generations to come.
