The Level Crossing Removal Project (LCRP) is hosting community information sessions to keep the community informed about the removal plans.

LCRP said the face-to-face community information sessions are designed to chat with the project team and learn more about the upcoming Hobsons Bay projects.

The LCRP is removing level crossings in Newport as part of works to make the Werribee Line level crossing free by 2030.

The crossing at Maddox Road is also being removed, by building a rail bridge over the rail line.

Champion Road will also be closed when the Maddox Road level crossing is removed in 2026.

The in-person sessions will run for 45 minutes, and registration is essential.

During this time, information will be on display for residents to view at your own pace, and project team members will be on hand to answer questions.

The sessions will primarily focus on the Newport level crossing removal sites, however there will be information available about Hudsons Road, Spotswood Level Crossing Removal Project.

The sessions will be held at the Newport Community Hub, 13 to 15 Mason Street, Newport on Thursday, November 2.

The time slots available for registration are 5pm to 5.45pm, 6pm to 6.45pmor 7pm to 7.45pm.

Registrations close when session capacity is filled or 12 hours before the session occurs.
