Beyond the Tracks: Designing South Geelong Station Through Rail Duplication

Join the designers behind the Waurn Ponds Duplication for an inside look at the transformation of South Geelong Station and its surrounding precinct.

This presentation explores how landscape architecture, integrated public art and collaborative design were used to create a more comfortable, accessible and memorable public environment.

Learn how co-design with Wadawurrung Traditional Custodians shaped the project's identity, strengthened cultural connections and informed the experience of place. Through real project insights, the talk will reveal the challenges and opportunities of delivering high-quality design outcomes within major infrastructure projects.

Relevant to the general public, design professionals and policy makers alike, this session demonstrates how thoughtful, people-centred design can enhance everyday journeys while delivering lasting social, cultural and environmental benefits for the Geelong community.
