Anzac railway station (originally known by the working title of Domain) is a planned station to be built as part of the Melbourne Metro Rail Project. The station is named for the nearby Shrine of Remembrance and in honour of the ANZAC spirit of service and sacrifice.[1]

Anzac Station will be built below St Kilda Road in the suburb of South Yarra, and is planned to feature four entrances.[2] It will be built using the cut-and-cover method and construction has commenced in 2018. The station will open as part of the wider Metro Rail Project in 2025.[3][4][5]

The station has been designed as a ‘pavilion in the park’, being a sympathetic building and landmark that connects seamlessly with surrounding green areas of the Shrine of Remembrance Reserve, Kings Domain and Royal Botanic Gardens.[6] The station will also feature the first platform-to-platform connection between trains and trams in Melbourne, as half of all passengers are expected to interchange between the two modes of transport.[6]

During the construction period the Domain Road tram line and Domain Interchange tram stop will close.[7][8]
