The Victorian government in Australia has released a tender for its Road and Rail Minor Works Program, which aims to deliver new car parks, more comfortable waiting areas and better passenger information at train stations across rural and regional Victoria.

It also aims to improve cycling infrastructure at stations with new, secure bike cages and hoops to make it easier to ride to the station and catch the train.

The US$17 million (AU$22.5 million) program will also upgrade bus stops, signage and access, as well as bus and coach interchanges.

The Road and Rail Minor Works Program was funded in last year’s Victoria Budget, and is the product of extensive consultation with local communities during the development of the Regional Network Development Plan (RNDP).

Contracts are expected to be awarded by the end April, with construction due to start in late-2017 and to be finished by the end of next year.
