Delivering a state-of-the-art railway station
Mt Derrimut Station project is part of Victoria's Big Build. Working with McConnell Dowell and the Level Crossing Removal Project, the station features a pedestrian connection linking the north and south sides of the rail line, landscaped areas, car parking and better bicycle facilities for commuters.
The station includes two new platforms and access via lifts, ramps and feature stair with a canopy representing Bunjil, the creator according to Kulin nations in central Victoria.
The station building has a green roof for ESD benefits and visual amenity from the platforms above.

Creative Construction
The project achieved an industry first by installing structural concrete which incorporates recycled soft plastic, diverting 0.5 tonnes of soft plastic from landfill. Polyrok, a recycled plastic aggregate derived from post-consumer soft plastic packaging, was incorporated into a sustainable structural concrete mix, forming the foundation of the new station’s green roof, resulting in an up to 40 per cent reduction in the carbon footprint of the concrete.
