LXRP - Level Crossing Removal Project in Cardinia Shire

As part of the Victorian Government's Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP): 

McGregor Road, Main Street and Racecourse Road  

The 3 level crossings will be removed by raising the rail line over the roads, which will: 

  • improve safety and reduce congestion
  • allow for new community spaces
  • minimise disruption to road and train users during construction

New Pakenham and East Pakenham stations 

Designs have been released for the brand-new Pakenham and East Pakenham stations, being built as part of the fast-tracked project to remove the 3 level crossings in Pakenham. You can view the designs on Victoria's Big Build website 

More info on LXRP website: new Pakenham station and future Pakenham East station 

The existing metropolitan line is also being extended by about 2 kilometres. The works will allow more services to be added to the Pakenham and Gippsland lines in the future.

Council is a key stakeholder in Pakenham Level Crossing Removal Project. We'll work with the LXRP, and advocate to the Victorian Government for the project to:

  • improve support and enhance opportunities for existing and future businesses
  • integrate the train station, bus interchange and car parking with the town centre and surrounding communities, and improve pedestrian paths
  • provide safe and functional community spaces
  • enhance the look of the area, including by landscaping through the precinct
  • improve traffic flow, including integrating the existing paths with new pedestrian and bicycle connections
  • minimise disruption to local businesses and our wider community during construction.

LXRP is building a new road bridge over the rail line at Brunt Road and Station Street in Beaconsfield. The 2 level crossings in Beaconsfield will be removed by constructing new road bridges over the rail line. Designs have been released for these new bridges. You can view these designs on Victoria's Big Build website 

Early works are underway at Brunt Road, Beaconsfield and construction will be completed by 2025. 

Site investigations are underway at Station Street, Beaconsfield and construction will be completed by 2025.

LXRP will close Station Street in Officer at the rail crossing. This will remove the crossing from the road network.  

Alternative road access will be provided by the existing Brunt Road and Siding Avenue, and the future north/south connection from Officer South Road to Bayview Road. 

Early site investigations are underway, with the project to be completed in 2025.
