We’re all about transforming lives by finding solutions to complex challenges across a wide range of industries including infrastructure, property, rail, building and water projects in Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.

From the epic, to the intimate, everything we do improves life for someone, somewhere. It gives our business momentum and means we approach things a little differently.

About the Project

The Stations Alliance North team, comprising John Holland, Arup, and KBR are excited to be delivering the transformative Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East WP-F package. The Alliance will build world-class underground stations at Glen Waverley, Burwood and Box Hill.

The new stations will be fully accessible, light-filled spaces with retail and dining options – and will feature elements inspired by the history of the local community and First Nations peoples – with each station to have a Green Star rating of at least 5 stars.

The SRL will have safe, easy and accessible connections to existing Metro stations, as well as new and upgraded bus and tram interchanges, walking and cycling paths and bike parking.

These new SRL stations will support the delivery of more homes – within walking distance of jobs, health services, universities and quality open space.

SRL is a transport and urban planning project that will deliver world-class public transport, reduce travel times, and support the delivery of more homes and housing.
