Park Street St Kilda Drivers Facilities

The Department of Transport and Planning and Yarra Trams regularly carry out maintenance works and upgrades across the network to improve operations and safety. One of these upcoming improvements will be the installation of new drivers facilities at the tram terminus in Park Street, St Kilda.

These new facilities will replace the temporary toilets that have been in place for many years, they will be located on the platform of the terminus. City of Port Phillip has been consulted regarding these facilities for our staff.

To minimise construction impacts, we will prefabricate the facility offsite and then install the new facility from late September. Some civil works will be required to install the facility and provide water and electricity connection.

The facility will be for the sole use of tram drivers and other public transport staff. The facilities will be locked at all times and not accessible to the public.
