What's happening

On 28 April, Williams Landing Station will be open to commuters.

To mark this exciting milestone, we’re hosting an exclusive sneak peek celebration event for the community at the Williams Landing Station ahead of its official opening.

This event will give locals the opportunity to be among the first people to walk through and explore the new station.

Come and be entertained by local performers, enjoy a sausage sizzle and take part in a scavenger hunt quiz.

The event will also feature demonstrations and information about bicycle facilities available at the station and cycling in the Wyndham area.

Date: Sunday 21 April 2013
Time: 10am to midday
RSVP: ptvprojects@ptv.vic.gov.au

Road access will be available via the Palmers Road extension from Point Cook.

Parking is available at the new station car park off Palmers Road.

Point Cook locals are encouraged to walk to the station via the new pedestrian bridge over the Princes Freeway.

As the Palmers Road extension from the Williams Landing estate will not be open to traffic until 28 April, a free shuttle bus service for Williams Landing residents has been arranged.

The bus will run to and from the Williams Landing Sales and Info Centre at 3 Opsum Way (Melways 203 J8).

The bus will run to the following schedule:

10am departure from Sales Centre
10.45am departure from Williams Landing Station
11am departure from Sales Centre
11.15am departure from Williams Landing Station
11.30am departure from Sales Centre
12pm departure from Williams Landing Station.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Project description

The Williams Landing Project involves the construction of a new premium railway station and an extension of Palmers Road.

The project will improve Melbourne's transport network and benefit the rapidly growing communities of Point Cook and Williams Landing.

The new Williams Landing station will be a zone 2 station on the Werribee Line between Aircraft and Hoppers Crossing stations.

Palmers Road will also be extended across the rail line to link the station and Williams Landing town centre with the Princes Freeway and Point Cook.

The project is being delivered as a partnership between Public Transport Victoria, the Department of Transport, VicRoads and Metro Trains Melbourne. Abigroup is the construction contractor for the project.
