Suburban Rail Loop

Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) will transform Victoria's public transport system connecting our suburbs and creating opportunities in great places.

The 90-kilometre SRL 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.

It will ease congestion and take pressure off the existing transport network and the project will generate a long pipeline of work and construction activity, creating up to 24,000 jobs across the economy during construction.

As well as delivering significant transport benefits, SRL provides an opportunity to plan the services, amenity and infrastructure we're going to need outside of the CBD for future generations.

SRL will be delivered in stages over several decades, with Initial and Early Works package of works having started in 2022, paving the way for major construction.

Initial and Early Works

The Initial and Early Works comprises a range of preparatory works, including utility relocation and protection works, site establishment works, ground improvement trials, road improvements and underground structures to facilitate the commencement of tunnelling operations.

This Package of works has been awarded to Laing O'Rourke as the Managing Contractor.

Timing

Construction of the Initial and Early Works commenced in 2022.

Power Connection Works

The Power Connection Works comprise works required to connect to and supply power from the Victorian electricity system for the construction and operation phases of the SRL.

Timing

Activities associated with the Power Connection Works are expected to commence in 2022.

Tunnels Cheltenham to Glen Waverley

The Tunnels Cheltenham to Glen Waverley package of works comprises all tunnelling and excavation works on the SRL alignment between Cheltenham and Glen Waverley, the completion of which will result in 16 kilometers for twin tunnels.

Timing

Construction of the Tunnels Cheltenham to Glen Waverley package of works is expected to commence in 2026.
