SRL Community Open Day at Burwood - Webuild, as part of Terra Verde Joint Venture, hosted a community open day at the Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East Burwood site recently, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the incredible work under way on this transformative project in Melbourne.

More than 300 local community members attended, taking part in activities such as a VR simulator, train building, face painting and digger play, while learning more about SRL and its role in supporting Melbourne’s growing population.

Thank you to everyone who supported this amazing event!

Webuild, as part of Terra Verde Joint Venture, is delivering the excavation of two parallel tunnels for nearly 10 kilometres between the future stations of Box Hill and Glen Waverley, the creation of 39 cross passages between them; two station boxes, two TBM launch sites, and one intervention and ventilation shaft.

About the Project

Webuild, as leader of the Terra Verde Joint Venture is delivering the contract to design and construct the Tunnels North contract of Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East, a project that will transform public transport in Melbourne amind strong population growth in the coming years.

Commissioned by Suburban Rail Loop Authority, the contract entails the excavation of two parallel tunnels for nearly 10 kilometres between the future stations of Box Hill and Glen Waverley; the creation of 39 cross passages between them; two station boxes; two tunnel access shafts; and one intervention and ventilation shaft. The tunnels will be excavated using tunnel-boring machines (TBMs).

Suburban Rail Loop is a 90-kilometre orbital rail line that will help transform the way Melbourne grows, delivering more public transport and more homes. The first stage, SRL East, is now under construction, with tunnelling to start in 2026 and trains taking passengers in 2035.
