Deer Park Station
Victoria, Australia
Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP)
Project 2019 – 2024
Deer Park Station is part of the Mount Derrimut Road Level Crossing Removal to replace the existing at-grade railway crossing with a rail-over-road solution, delivered within the WPA programme of works.
Key design outcomes include:
Strong integration of Indigenous culture through a co-design process with Traditional Owners. The elegant station canopies reflect the wings of Bunjil, embracing and welcoming travellers, while providing a unique and distinctive identity.
Extensive green roof over station buildings is a first in Victorian rail architecture, providing visual, sustainability and habitat benefits, while reflecting layers of Country.
A new V/Line ‘Modal Hub’ Station with side platforms and dual vertical transport configuration.
Publicly accessible Eastern Station Building houses waiting room with amenities, bike storage and PSO. Western Station Building is used by V/Line staff, and houses ticket office, general office and staff amenities.
New through-links and concourse deliver a safe active transport precinct with direct sight lines and broad passages, from adjacent residential areas and integrated intermodal transport exchange.
The largest precinct of the 80+ Level Crossing Removal projects, the new plaza and landscaped spaces link the north and south residential areas into an extended public realm with stations entries and civic concourse.
