Pakenham Station by Genton Redefines Transport Infrastructure as Civic Landmark
Pakenham Station, designed by Genton, stands as an important civic landmark that enhances transportation and spurs urban renewal. This project is part of Victoria's Level Crossing Removal initiative, eliminating three dangerous crossings and introducing a new elevated rail section that improves access in Pakenham. It acts as a crucial link between Melbourne and Gippsland, serving the needs of the growing community. Covering an area of 5430 m², the station was completed in 2024, with lead architects Steven Toia, Marc Debney, and Jamie McCutcheon. The design team included Sam Blake, Chern Wong, and others, while Tract managed the landscaping, and John Holland oversaw general contracting. KBR handled civil engineering, and photography was by Peter Clarke.
