There are four phases to our process:
- Phase 1: VicTrack internal review
- Phase 2: Independent compliance review (refer to the Compliance Review Guideline for more details)
- Phase 3: Head TfV approval, and rail or tram operator review
- Phase 4: VicTrack licensing of the asset, followed by arranging site access with rail operator prior to commencing works. In some cases, there may be additional negotiation and settlement if the licensee requests changes to the license. This additional negotiation is at the licensee’s expense.
During the process, we review your design drawings, consult internally and externally, and prepare, draft and execute any required licences.
The entire process can take from 3 to 12 months to complete depending on the complexity of the project and other land use and operational considerations.
For more information about the process, please refer to the Four Phase Process documentation
For information about proposed decommissioning works, please refer to the Decommissioning Guideline.
Additional costs
During the process, some activities may attract additional fees. For example:
- Phase 2: An independent technical review (to be completed by the applicant)
- Review and site access by the relevant rail transport operator (e.g Metro Trains)
- Project management fees if the volume or complexity of your application requires additional resources. However, we will notify you first.
