Brunswick Tram Depot upgrade
We're upgrading the Brunswick Tram Depot as we add larger trams and improve how the network operates.
As part of our final upgrades works at the Brunswick Tram Depot, we’re:
- Installing a pair of level-access stops at Moreland Road, at Cameron Street, to improve accessibility and connectivity.
- Building a new tram depot exit onto Sydney Road to minimise delays to services in the morning peak and reduce congestion on Moreland Road.
There will be detours in place on Sydney Road and Moreland Road, and public transport service changes during these works.
We will work with residents and businesses to minimise access impacts as much as possible and businesses will remain open. Please continue to support local businesses during these essential works.
These works will take place in three stages of 24-hour works:
Cameron Street: 9am, Friday 21 August to 5am, Monday 5 October 2026
What to expect
- Closure of Cameron Street between Prowse Street and Moreland Road.
- 24-hour works.
- Access to businesses will continue to be via Tinning Street and the council carpark.
- Pedestrian access maintained where safe to do so.
- Ongoing closure of Upfield Shared Use Path with bike rider detours via Tinning and Colebrook streets.
- Extremely high levels of noise at times while we break out the tram tracks, complete saw cutting, deep excavation and breakthrough underground materials.
In the lead up to these 24-hour works, there will continue to be road closures and out of hours works. Cameron Street will be closed between Prowse Street and Moreland Road.
