Background on the project stages can be seen on the Lifecycle of the project.

The Project has one final stage to achieve the following benefits:

1. Enhanced streetscapes
2. Better pedestrian and cyclist movement
3. Creation of a larger public park at Dwyer Road Reserve with new playground and amenities
4. Smart technologies that enhance the experience of the precinct for the local community and visitors

Community consultation for the final stage will take place in early 2021 for the portion of Diagonal Road to create a continuous pedestrian/cyclist link from the new train station to the Regional Centre.
