Route 48 Extended to Victoria Harbour
Friday, 15 May 2009
Route 48 (North Balwyn-Docklands) will be changed to travel via Collins Street instead of Flinders Street, and extended to Victoria Harbour, Docklands from September 2009.
Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky said the new Route 48 service would provide a direct link between the heart of the CBD, Southern Cross Station and the Victoria Harbour precinct of Docklands.
“The Brumby Government is taking action to build the best transport network in Australia and with the continued growth of Docklands, there is a greater need for public transport links to this increasingly vibrant community and business hub,” Ms Kosky said.
“Route 48 trams from North Balwyn, which currently travels down Flinders Street, will turn right from Wellington Parade into Spring Street and then left into Collins Street. The trams will then travel down Collins Street to Victoria Harbour, Docklands.
“By the end of 2009 around 12,000 people will work in Victoria Harbour, which is home to major businesses including the headquarters of two of Australia's largest banks, ANZ and NAB, as well as the new Myer corporate headquarters, the Kangan Batman TAFE and retail and community spaces including cafes, restaurants, boutique shops and a supermarket.”
Once complete trams will link the CBD and Docklands from Flinders, Collins, Bourke and La Trobe Streets via Routes 31, 48, 70, 86 and the City Circle.
“Work is already underway to extend the Collins Street tram tracks into Victoria Harbour, across Harbour Esplanade to Merchant Street,” Ms Kosky said.
“The Route 48 project also involves the installation of turning tracks at the intersection of Wellington Parade and Spring Street and at the intersection of Collins Street and Spring Street.”
These works will start in May and are expected to be complete by mid-2009. Major track works will be undertaken over the Queen's Birthday long weekend from 6 to 8 June at the intersection of Collins and Spring Streets, and in Macarthur Street between Collins Street and Albert Street.
Other major works will be undertaken at the intersection of Spring Street and Flinders Street intersection from 19 to 22 June. The impact of these works on residents, traders and the transport network is being minimised wherever possible and prior notification has been provided to affected parties.
For any questions about these works, interested parties can contact Yarra Trams Customer Feedback on 1800 800 166 (6am - 10pm daily).
During the works some temporary diversions will apply to tram routes 109 and 112. Detailed tram timetable information is available by calling Metlink on 131 638 or visiting
