Gardiner tram substation

We’re revitalising Melbourne’s tram network, meeting the city’s future needs and increased demands on the tram network.
Project status:

Underway

Upgrades to our network and tram fleet will make travel more reliable, efficient and convenient.

To achieve this, we need to upgrade the tram power infrastructure in Glen Iris by building a new tram substation near the tram network.

We’ve identified a suitable site within the rail reserve near the corner of Burke Road and King Street, Glen Iris. This location allows the tram substation to be connected to the tram network where our investigations show more power is needed.

Project update

From October to December 2023, we engaged with the community about the proposed Gardiner tram substation.

During community consultation, we sought feedback on the overall project and what’s most important to the community as we design and deliver the Gardiner tram substation.

Community feedback has been used to inform and develop the architectural concept designs for the new tram substation.

Construction is anticipated to begin in 2025 and be completed in 2026. We’ll update the community ahead of any works taking place.
