Victorian Government announced a USD 16.6 million tender for train station, bus and other public transport infrastructure upgrades across regional Victoria. The tender is part of the Victorian Government’s Road and Rail Minor Works Program. Contracts are expected to be awarded by the end April, with construction due to start in late-2017 and to be finished by the end of next year.
The Program will deliver new car parks, more comfortable waiting areas, and better passenger information at train stations across rural and regional Victoria.
It will improve cycling infrastructure at stations with new, secure bike cages and hoops to make it easier to get to ride to the station and catch the train. The Program will also upgrade bus stops, signage and access, as well as bus and coach interchanges.
The Road and Rail Minor Works Program was funded in last year’s Victoria Budget, and is the product of extensive consultation with local communities during the development of the Regional Network Development Plan (RNDP).
The RNDP is Victoria’s first ever short, medium and long-term strategy for better regional public transport. It was released last year along with USD 979 million in the Budget to kick-start initiatives in the Plan.
