South Morang Stations

Rails Connect, Communities Bloom: Melbourne’s Northern Oasis

A Northern Renaissance

Melbourne’s northern suburbs bask in the sunlight of a new era, propelled by the transformative South Morang Rail Extension. This ambitious project is more than just laying tracks; it’s about weaving a seamless tapestry of connectivity, vibrancy, and urban potential. At its heart lie three key stations – South Morang, Thomastown, and the revitalized Epping Station – each blossoming into a vibrant node within a long-term urban vision.

Station Tales

The design echoes the surrounding native vegetation, creating a welcoming sanctuary amidst the urban landscape. Open spaces and natural materials foster a sense of calm, inviting residents and travelers to linger and connect.
• Thomastown: Rhythm of Industry: Thomastown Station pulsates with the energy of its industrial past. The design pays homage to its heritage, incorporating bold geometric shapes and textured materials that speak of progress and resilience. But this isn’t just a nod to the past; it’s a vibrant platform for the future, offering a dynamic space for community gatherings and artistic expression.

Modernized and expanded, the station becomes a bustling hub, a melting pot of cultures and generations. Light and airy spaces foster a sense of connection and possibility, while nods to the past preserve the station’s historical charm.
