Once the Byford Rail Extension alignment and station location was confirmed, which involved key stakeholders such as local governments, the team could start engaging with the local community.

As well as various stakeholder meetings in the community, engagement and activities have included:

12 September 2020 – Community drop-in session at Byford Town Hall
September 2020 - Nearly 100 people completed our survey on what design elements they would like to see at a new Byford Station. View a summary of the results.
September 2020 - Door knocking and meetings with more than 80 properties in direct proximity to the Thomas Road Over Rail Project
29 October 2020 – Coffee pop-up at Dome Café, Byford

These activities all help shape the scope of works and technical requirements, before the contract is awarded.
