The Caulfield to Dandenong Level Crossing Removal (CTD) project involved the replacement of nine hazardous rail level crossings with five elevated railway stations along one of Melbourne’s busiest transport corridors. This project presented an opportunity to create a new linear park in Melbourne’s metropolitan zone by elevating the rail line and stations. For decades, this rail corridor had been a major barrier to urban connectivity, adding to road congestion, limiting links between suburbs, and restricting the introduction of new rail services.
Cox Architecture led the design of the new stations, with each one having a consistent and unique architectural form that reflects the character of the station’s surroundings. The elevated viaduct features a split solution that reduces visual bulk, allowing light and rainfall into the linear parks below. The project has transformed 22 hectares of open space into a green linear park, enhancing opportunities for community sport, retail, cross-corridor connectivity, and social interaction.
