Civil Landscape Construction at Union Station, Melbourne
Yarra Contracting | Level Crossing Removal Project
Yarra Contracting was engaged to deliver the civil landscape construction package at Union Station in Melbourne, forming part of the Victorian Government’s Level Crossing Removal Project. The project focused on transforming a key public transport interchange to improve accessibility, connectivity, and commuter experience across Melbourne’s growing rail network.
Working within an active rail corridor and dense urban environment, the project required careful planning, staged construction, and strict adherence to safety protocols to ensure uninterrupted public access and rail operations.
Delivering Civil Landscaping in a Live Rail Environment
As an experienced civil landscape contractor in Melbourne, Yarra Contracting coordinated closely with multiple contractors, rail authorities, and project stakeholders to deliver the works efficiently within a complex construction environment.
