Rowville-Rail-Study-Final-Stage-1-Report-FINAL

In addition to this the project as a whole would need to include the following:
Final Stage 1 Feasibility Report
A Rowville rail line concept
Integrated design of coordinated bus feeder services and bus stop facilities
Passenger access provision in line with the latest Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)
requirements (including lifts, ramps and stairs)
Provision for secure bicycle parking and adequate bicycle access paths
Well-designed and safe pedestrian access, especially in the environment of Wellington
Road
Use of sustainable design, materials, energy use and other factors as an intrinsic part of
the project
Overall, the rail line and its facilities would need to be designed to the latest industry
standards and to cater for long term future demands.

Figure 17 shows some illustrative cross sections of how the rail line might look where it
would be above or below ground, or in a ‘retained cutting’ open to the air above. There are
extensive lengths of retained cut, tunnel and elevated structure.
