Anzac Railway Station

Anzac railway station is a rapid transit railway station on the Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury lines, serving the south Melbourne suburb of South Yarra in Victoria, Australia. When opened as part of the Metro Tunnel project, Anzac will be an underground premium station, featuring an island platform with two faces. The station will connect directly to the Anzac tram interchange at street level. Major construction commenced in April 2018, with completion in early 2025.

Originally announced under the working title of Domain, after the nearby Kings Domain, following a naming competition the station was named Anzac for the nearby Shrine of Remembrance and in honour of the Anzac spirit of "service and sacrifice". Construction on the station commenced in 2018 using the cut-and-cover method. The station will provide a direct platform transfer to services on the busy tram corridor along St Kilda Road and will provide access to the nearby Royal Botanic Gardens and Albert Park. It sits in the suburb of South Yarra.

Location

Anzac station is being built below St Kilda Road in the suburb of South Yarra, and is planned to feature four entrances.

Anzac precinct

The station will also feature the first platform-to-platform connection between trains and trams in Melbourne, as half of all passengers are expected to interchange between the two modes of transport. The Anzac Station tram stop opened to passengers on the 19 December 2022, replacing the Domain Interchange which formerly existed on the same site prior to Metro Tunnel construction. The train station underneath remains under construction.

The station entrance features a large wooden canopy designed by RSHP, Hassell and Weston Williamson.
