Caulfield to Dandenong (Skyrail) Level Crossing Removal
The Caulfield to Dandenong Level Crossing Removal (LCR) Project
ecoDynamics constructed new parkways for the local community as part of the State Government’s Caulfield to Dandenong Level Crossing Removal Project.
This innovative project removed nine level crossings between Caulfield and Dandenong and created 5km of new linear parks in the previous railway track space.
Innovative landscape design creates a new public realm
The elevation of the Caulfield to Dandenong railway line, dubbed Skyrail, has created an entirely new public realm.
In a space once dedicated to railway tracks, elevating the line has not only resulted in halving traffic congestion times, but has opened 11 football fields worth of space and created 17km of new walking and cycling paths.
Hard scaping and soft scaping skills prove vital at the Caulfield to Dandenong LCR project
Our Vic team was contracted to build sections 1B, 2 and 3 of the linear parks beneath Skyrail, creating vital new public spaces.
ecoDynamics built approximately 5km of new parklands, including planting indigenous seedlings and mature trees, hydroseeding, hardscaping and earthworks.
