Gippsland Rail Upgrade | Bunyip
The Gippsland Rail Line upgrade is being delivered by the Victorian Government as part of Victoria’s Big Build. It will include upgrades to Bunyip rail station.
The Gippsland Line Upgrade will enable much-needed extra off-peak services such as track duplication, a crossing loop extension and second platforms at stations that will provide more opportunities for trains to pass each other.
The upgrade will deliver more frequent and reliable train services to the growing communities of Gippsland and create 500 jobs in the region.
Project description
Bunyip Station has been upgraded as part of the Gippsland Line Upgrade project.
A second platform has been constructed which allows for more frequent and reliable train services. This means trains can pass one other more easily and not cause additional delays to the service ensuring faster journeys for passengers.
Accessible car parking spaces have been built closer to the platform entrance providing easier access for passengers with additional mobility needs.
The Bunyip Station upgrade includes an additional 30 car parking spaces as part of the Victorian Government Car Parks for Commuters program, providing commuters in this fast-growing area with more parking options for the future.
Minor works including drainage, landscaping and improvements to the bus interchange will occur in 2025.
