Station features
Anzac Station’s distinctive timber canopy is 85m long and 23m wide. It’s designed as a pavilion in the park that blends into its leafy surrounds. The canopy sits on massive steel columns up to 17m above the station concourse with skylights that draw in natural light.
Entrances on either side of St Kilda Road create a pedestrian underpass below the busy road, making it safer and easier to cross.
Anzac Station will have Victorian-first platform screen doors for better safety, climate control and less noise.
Train / tram interchange
St Kilda Road is one of the world’s busiest tram corridors and a popular route with cyclists. More than half of the passengers using the new station are expected to move between trains and trams.
The new tram interchange is the first in Melbourne with a direct platform-to-platform connection between the train and tram network. Extra-large tram platforms can accommodate 4 trams at any one time (or 2 longer E-class trams in each direction), and will cater for large crowds for events such as Anzac Day and the Grand Prix.
Precinct features
Albert Road Reserve has been expanded and enhanced as a community park, providing a green link between the Shrine of Remembrance Reserve, Domain Parklands, Albert Park and beyond to Port Phillip Bay.
Accessibility
Anzac Station’s tram stop is accessible from pedestrian crossings near Albert Road and Domain Road, and features raised platforms to allow easy access for wheelchair users to board low floor trams.
Lifts will take people from entrances at Albert Road, the Shrine of Remembrance Reserve and the tram platform to the train platforms below ground.
The station also includes Tactile Ground Surface Indicators, braille and tactile signs, and more accessibility features.
