Anzac railway station is a rapid transit station currently under construction as part of the Metro Tunnel in Melbourne, Victoria. The station is named for the nearby Shrine of Remembrance and in honour of the Anzac spirit of service and sacrifice. [1] It is being built using the cut-and-cover method.

Originally known as Domain, construction on the station commenced in 2018 and is expected to open in 2025. [2] [3] [4] 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. [5] The Anzac Station tram stop opened to passengers on the 19 December 2022, [6] replacing the Domain Interchange which formerly existed on the same site prior to Metro Tunnel construction. The train station underneath remains under construction. [7] [8]

The station entrance features a large wooden canopy designed by RSHP, Hassell and Weston Williamson. [9]
