ABOUT THE SUBURBAN RAIL LOOP AUTHORITY

Suburban Rail Loop (SLR) is a city and state-shaping project that will transform Victoria’s public transport
system, connecting Melbourne’s suburbs and creating opportunities in great places. The 90-kilometre
Suburban Rail Loop will link every major rail line from the Frankston line to the Werribee line, via the airport,
better connecting Victorians to jobs, retail, education, health services and each other. The project will trigger
investment and renewal in the neighbourhoods associated with new stations, creating an opportunity to shape
and plan for the services, amenities and infrastructure these communities will need as Victoria and Melbourne
grow. It will be constructed in stages across several decades, with SRL East (Cheltenham to Box Hill)
delivering twin 26 km tunnels, six new underground stations and key amenity enhancements to local precincts.
Suburban Rail Loop Authority (SRLA) is responsible for all aspects of the project including planning and
development of the reference design, the Business and Investment case, site investigations, community and
stakeholder engagement, planning approvals and procurement, through to precinct planning, construction
delivery and project commissioning.
This is a unique career opportunity to join a transformational city-shaping infrastructure project in its early
stages and to help drive the best connectivity, liveability and productivity outcomes for Melbourne. You will

of the most forward-thinking ideas in the rail infrastructure and precincts space.
