Project Value:

Confidential

The 90-kilometre Suburban Rail Loop will transform Victoria’s public transport system. It will link every major rail line from the Frankston line to the Werribee line, via the airport, better connecting Victorians to jobs, retail, education, health services and each other.

Three transport super hubs at Clayton, Broadmeadows and Sunshine will connect regional services to Suburban Rail Loop, so passengers outside Melbourne won’t have to travel through the CBD to get to employment, hospitals and universities in the suburbs.

Suburban Rail Loop will ease congestion and take pressure off the entire transport network.

The project will create a long pipeline of jobs and trigger investment and renewal in the neighbourhoods associated with new stations.

Suburban Rail Loop will be delivered in stages over several decades, with Stage One between Cheltenham and Box Hill to be built first.

WT is working with the Suburban Rail Loop Authority (SLRA) providing cost planning services for the project.
