The Design Review leverages the opportunities presented by the Station upgrade works at Oakleigh as part of the Level Crossing Removal project along the Caulfield-Dandenong line.

The plans were developed through a series of collaborative workshops involving Council officers and VicTrack, and are supported by comprehensive market/viability analysis and costings, to inform implementation.
