Q3 What
refurbishments will there be in the station
precinct?
As part of the Hampton Station Precinct project,
VicTrack is committed to relocating and improving the
bus interchange and creating a new station forecourt.
By relocating commuter car parking to the south
side of the station precinct, the project will deliver
an increase in overall commuter car parking at the
station.
Furthermore, VicTrack is currently reviewing a priority
list of public transport improvements to enhance the
commuter experience, which will be funded by part
of the development proceeds.

six levels for the majority of the site and seven levels at
the eastern (Hampton Street) end of the site. Ground

Q10 How
development been decided?
The Bayside City Council Design and Development
Overlay (DDO) allows for six levels of development.
The design for the Hampton Station Precinct
development proposes scaling from three to seven
levels, taking into account the suitability of the area
for more intense development due to its proximity
to public transport and key services. The adjoining
site which is currently under construction, received
planning approval for seven levels.
Q11
What type of housing is proposed for
the residential development?
The new housing will provide a mix of one, two and
three bedroom apartments.
There will also be 18 public housing apartments, to
replace the 16 existing obsolete units on Koolkuna
Lane, owned by DHHS.
DHHS has been working closely with its tenants

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Q13
How has the community been
engaged so far?
The Hampton Station Precinct project is informed by
extensive community consultation.
• In 2013, VicTrack engaged with the community
and commuters in a place-making process
to help shape a vision for the future of the
Hampton Station precinct. This was undertaken in
collaboration with Bayside City Council. The two
agencies developed a set of principles and values
to guide the future development of the Hampton
Willis Street Precinct, which includes the Hampton
Station Precinct.
• The place making objectives guide the
development to be a place that the community
understands, participates in and feels ownership
www.hamptonstationprecinct.engagementhq.com
of. More information about these objectives can
be found on the project website.
• In 2015 and 2016 consultation was undertaken with
stakeholders and community groups to respond
to resident concerns about the location of the bus
interchange. Consultation led to us improving the
proposed bus movements within the precinct.
See question 16 for more information on the bus
routes.

Q14 Why

Will there be a loss of commuter car
parking?
No. Through relocating spaces to the south side of the
train line, the overall number of commuter car parking
spaces at Hampton Station will increase by at least 25
spaces.
Q16
Will the bus routes change as a result of
the development?
Bus movements within the precinct will be re-routed,
so the buses turn left into Koolkuna Lane from Willis
Street with the bus stops located on the northern
side of Koolkuna Lane, close to the station. Buses will
continue to exit via Willis Lane onto Willis Street. See
figure 3 for further information.
epc.Pacific, VicRoads, Public Transport Victoria
and Metro Trains Melbourne are working closely
to ensure clear communication of all changes to
bus movements as a result of the Hampton Station
Precinct project.
