This FOI release contains a January 2021 feasibility study for the Tooronga Road level crossing removal on Melbourne's Glen Waverley Line and a business case for the nearby Glenferrie Road level crossing removal in Kooyong. The Tooronga study identifies three key problems: conflicting transport demands reducing reliability, excessive boom gate closures causing community severance, and driver/cyclist/pedestrian frustration leading to safety risks. The documents include site analysis covering transport context, land use, environmental approvals, hydrology, and utilities; needs assessment with prioritisation framework; multi-criteria assessment of project options; stakeholder consultation findings; preliminary cost estimates; and economic appraisal. The study was finalised in January 2021 with minor edits added in June 2021 for Commonwealth submission, indicating concurrent delivery planning to achieve efficiencies between the two crossing removals.
