Description

Located on the Frankston train line, the Parkdale Level Crossing Removal Project re-envisioned the existing rail corridor, creating safer cross-corridor connections and providing a new train station, tram stop and associated infrastructure to service the local community.

The design of the station celebrates the character of the bayside local village and provides a new central open town square space suitable for programmed events and informal gathering. Continuing the coastal theme, the station’s gently curved form references nautical architecture like lighthouses and navigation beacons. The translucent facade brings in natural light by day and casts a soft glow at night while providing a unique identity for the station.

Elevating the rail has enabled the creation of significant new public open space for the community and connects retail on Como Parade East and West with a new town square in the heart of Parkdale Village.
