Euroa
Inland Rail is a 1600km freight rail line connecting Melbourne and Brisbane that will transform how goods are moved around Australia.
In Victoria we’re upgrading 262km of existing rail line between Beveridge and Albury at 12 sites, including Euroa, to allow double-stacked freight trains to pass safely and ensure everyday products can be delivered faster and more reliably.

In Euroa, we’re modifying the station precinct and constructing a new vehicle underpass at Anderson Street to allow sufficient clearance for double-stacked freight trains.
Construction started in May 2025.
What to expect during construction
- Works to remove the Anderson Street bridge to make way for the new pedestrian underpass
- Works on the Elliot Street side of the station for the pedestrian and vehicle underpasses, station platform, relocated rail track, lift shaft and carpark
- Works on the Railway Street side of the station for the pedestrian and vehicle underpasses, station forecourt and carpark.
- Completion of the Anderson Street vehicle underpass.
- Landscaping and finishing works.
- Major construction complete.
Latest design
Community feedback has helped inform the design and we’re working hard to deliver the best outcome for Euroa.
Key features include:
- landscaped station forecourt with seating
- car parking on both sides of the station
- new light, bright, accessible and safe pedestrian underpasses at the station and Handbury Street
- station access with lifts, ramps and stairs
- network of pathways to better connect the community parklands and open spaces.
Community feedback
We’ve worked with community, stakeholders and technical specialists to develop, review and determine the best solution for Euroa.
During engagement we’ve heard safety, connectivity, visual amenity and improving the look and feel of the station precinct was important to you and we’ve updated designs to deliver these outcomes.
In 2021:
We considered two options for replacing the Anderson Street bridge: a road overpass, where the road goes over the rail line and a road underpass where the road goes under the rail line.
Based on feedback we’re progressing the community’s preferred option of a vehicle underpass.
In early 2023:
We shared the latest information on the road underpass option. This option is the more complex solution, as it requires additional flood mitigations and road safety measures be incorporated into the design. To better understand this, we undertook additional technical investigations.
The hydrological modelling we shared showed the outcome of different sized floods on the proposed underpass and the impact this has on road safety and emergency management. We heard from the community that they understood the information shared about the required flood and safety mitigations and their preferred solution was unchanged.
In 2024 and 2025:
We’ve continued to share information and seek community feedback as the designs have progressed.
Your preferences on landscaping, urban design finishes, colour palettes and heritage interpretation options have helped shape the design.
We’ve listened by:
- adding more trees and seating within the station forecourt
- changing the Railway Street side carpark layout to add more green space without losing parking spaces
- using the Euroa Goods Shed stone foundations in garden beds and retaining walls
- including a new footpath at Anderson Street, connecting Nelson and Hinton streets.
The final plan is determined based on a range of feedback sources including community input. Plans are also subject to acceptance from relevant future asset managers.

Construction has started in Euroa. Check out our image gallery to see our construction progress.
Our construction partner John Holland will work with the community and inform them of what to expect during construction.
