Site establishment works at Melbourne’s Boronia Station have begun ahead of major works starting early in 2026
Works have kicked off on the Boronia Station upgrade in Melbourne’s east, with crews getting started on delivering a modern and accessible station precinct.
As part of site establishment, crews have set up a site office, lifted in temporary buildings and poured concrete, preparing for more workers and construction vehicles and equipment, including large cranes and trucks.
Final designs for the project were recently released, showing a modern new station forecourt featuring a canopy inspired by flora from the nearby Dandenong Ranges, and an expanded concourse to improve connections over the rail line.
A new landscaped plaza between the station and Dorset Road will create more green space and seating areas, with the signalised pedestrian crossing moving closer to the plaza to make it easier for pedestrians to travel between the station and the Boronia shopping precinct.
The station concourse will be widened by relocating the ticket office to the entry on Erica Avenue and moving the protective services office to the Lupton Way entrance.
Station platforms will feature new shelters, seating and improved lighting to make waiting for a train more comfortable, with additional lighting and CCTV throughout the station precinct to boost safety for locals enjoying the new facilities.
Accessibility will also be improved with an updated pick-up and drop-off zone on Lupton Way, upgraded footpaths to both station entrances, and more bike hoops and better connections for cyclists.
Traffic lights at the intersection of Dorset and Chandler roads will be upgraded to include a dedicated right turn arrow to improve safety and traffic flow.
Major works will kick off early next year, with the station upgrade to be completed in 2026.
