Inland Rail reveals latest designs for Benalla railway precinct
The latest designs of the Benalla railway station precinct have been released by Inland Rail and locals are invited to provide feedback before the project begins construction later this year.
February 14, 2025
Updated visualisations highlight an open railway station surrounded by landscaped gardens and serviced by additional parking and improved pedestrian and cyclist connectivity.
Station modifications include a new accessible railway platform, improved pedestrian underpass with lifts, ramps and stairs, and an unimpeded forecourt area open directly to Mackellar Street
Inland Rail, and construction partner John Holland, will undertake a month-long community engagement process to gather feedback on the landscaping, urban design finishes, and heritage interpretation options.
The Benalla railway station precinct designs can be viewed, and feedback shared until 16 March by:
- visiting our Sharing Benalla Station Precinct design page
- dropping into the Inland Rail shopfront at 53 Carrier Street, from 10am-2pm every Wednesday
- talking to the Inland Rail team at the Benalla Farmers’ Markets (22 February) or at Benalla Library on Tuesday 25 February between 10am –12noon.
- Can’t make these times? Book an appointment by phone 1800 732 761 or email inlandrailvic@inlandrail.com.au
Justene Cowie, Inland Rail Beveridge to Albury Manager Stakeholder Engagement and Communications said:
“The latest designs transform the Benalla railway station precinct into an open, accessible and welcoming community asset.
“The station will be open to Mackellar Street and provide far better access for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
“The Benalla community have played an important role to shape the plans for the railway station precinct and we’ve incorporated many of their ideas and suggestions from previous community engagement in the new designs.”
