Sunshine Station: A Transport Superhub

Written By The Work Studio

Change is happening in Sunshine. Our growing Inner West suburb is set to become one of the most connected transport precincts in Australia. With the West Footscray to Albion Rail Upgrade now underway – the first stage of the Melbourne Airport Rail project – Sunshine is entering a new exciting phase of long-term growth.

The Sunshine rail upgrade and Melbourne Airport Rail project represent a significant investment in accessibility. For businesses considering their next move, location matters more than ever.

If you’re exploring professional workspaces in Melbourne’s Inner West, we’d love to welcome you to our growing community. Book a free coworking trial day or tour The Work Studio’s private offices and experience the benefit of being based in one of Melbourne’s most connected business precincts.

How Sunshine Station Is Becoming a Transport Superhub

At the centre of the project is a major redevelopment of Sunshine Station, which is set to become one of the most important suburban transport hubs in Victoria once the upgrade is complete.

When the West Footscray to Albion Rail Upgrade is finished in 2030, Sunshine Station will have significantly expanded to support increased rail capacity across Melbourne and regional Victoria. Official projections state the upgraded station will have capacity for more than 1,000 train services a day – more than 40 trains per hour.

But it’s not just the volume of services that sets Sunshine apart – it’s the range of rail lines that will converge in a single location. Once fully complete, the Sunshine Superhub will bring together:

  • The Metro Tunnel Sunbury line, connecting Melbourne’s west through the CBD to the Cranbourne/Pakenham corridor

  • The Melbourne Airport Rail line

  • Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo V/Line services

  • A future electrified Melton line

  • An upgraded bus interchange with more than 15 routes

This level of integration is what positions Sunshine as a key interchange between metropolitan Melbourne, regional Victoria and the airport, making it one of the most strategically important transport hubs in the country.

To support this transformation, the station upgrade will include two new regional platforms, an extended station concourse, improved accessibility with lifts and stairs, upgraded bus interchange facilities, new pedestrian and cycling connections, and new station forecourts and open public space.
