Sunshine Station upgrade video

Sunshine Station
"Sunshine is strategically positioned as an important regional centre for Melbourne's growing west. We will breathe new life into the Sunshine railway station precinct, supporting plans to revitalise the town centre.

We will improve the station precinct by: constructing a new pedestrian overpass which will be open and well lit, providing a safe connection across the rail corridor for pedestrians and cyclists configuring the bus interchange to create a friendly, landscaped transport hub and a link to the Sunshine retail district providing stairs, lifts and ramps from the overpass to all platforms and the station entrances building new canopies above the station entrances, stairs and platforms to provide increased shelter making all platforms accessible and usable for people with disabilities providing new station facilities on the overpass, including a new ticket office, waiting area and restrooms increasing the number of myki readers to improve the flow of passengers on and off trains improving safety and security by minimising hidden spaces, increasing passive surveillance and providing for extensive CCTV coverage throughout the station and bus interchange area improving the car parks at City Place and off Monash Street and upgrading lighting and security providing secure bicycle parking These improvements will address community concerns about the safety and appearance of the railway station. We will also construct two new Regional Rail Link tracks through Sunshine and a new platform on the south side of the station."
