The Victorian Government established the LXRP to oversee one of the largest rail infrastructure projects in the State’s history. The challenge is to remove 85 dangerous and congested level crossings by 2025 while enhancing station and neighbourhood precincts to leave an enduring legacy for communities across Melbourne.
Each project site – whether it be a level crossing removal, new station, road or associated development site – has its own unique character, ‘sense of place’ and distinct urban design issues and opportunities.
Every place must be analysed as a specific and distinct opportunity. Furthermore, achieving consistently high-quality urban design outcomes across the entire program is paramount, and places delivered in conjunction or along the same corridor must contribute to a consistent line-wide identity.
