Victorian Government awarded Frankston Station contract to an alliance led by John Holland and KBR. The station, located in Melbourne suburb of Frankston, is part of the AUD 63 million (USD 49 million) transformation project in the suburb.
Genton Architecture emerged from a field of 39 to unanimously win the architectural design competition and has refined the design, which includes a distinctive new canopy and buildings, upgrades to the entrance and subway access.
Other improvements to the area include new public plazas and walkways, that will create a thriving, modern shopping and transport hub.
Works will begin this month, starting with utility service relocation and technical surveys, followed by major construction and a temporary station closure from mid-year. Rail replacement buses will transport commuters along the line while the station is demolished and rebuilt.
“This new station will be bigger and better than before. It will be a community centre Frankston can be proud of. We’re removing level crossings, building new and improved stations and delivering better public transport in the south-eastern suburbs and across Victoria,” Minister for Public Transport Jacinta Allan said.
