Plans advance for multi-billion Suburban Rail Loop in Melbourne
The Victorian Government in Australia has confirmed the preferred stage one route for the biggest transport project ever built in Victoria and a dedicated new authority to deliver it, the Suburban Rail Loop Authority.
The Andrews Labor Government has confirmed the preferred alignment and station precinct locations from Cheltenham to Box Hill for the Suburban Rail Loop – a 90-kilometer rail ring around Melbourne’s middle suburbs that will better connect people to jobs, universities, TAFE’s, healthcare and each other.
The project will connect every metropolitan train line from Cheltenham to Werribee, create a rail link to the airport and build three transport super hubs at Clayton, Broadmeadows, and Sunshine to connect regional passengers to the Suburban Rail Loop.
This consultation, along with the geotechnical work already underway, will inform the development of the Business Case. A Registration of Interest process for local and global firms has also begun to establish the best team to build the project from 2022.
The Suburban Rail Loop will cut congestion right across Melbourne’s transport network and create more than 20,000 jobs during construction.
