Extensions and service changes for trams as below.
The growing Docklands precinct will be even more accessible with tram Route 48 to Victoria Harbour boosting services to the area.
From Sunday 20 September, Route 48, which currently travels from North Balwyn to Waterfront City via Flinders Street, will run via Spring Street and Collins Street to its new terminus at Victoria Harbour, Docklands.
The new service will provide a direct link between Victoria Harbour, Southern Cross Station, the heart of the CBD and Collins Street.
The new Route 48 services from North Balwyn will turn right from Wellington Parade into Spring Street, left into Collins Street and continue on to Victoria Harbour, Docklands.
Collins Street will still be serviced by Route 109 (Box Hill - Port Melbourne) and Route 112 (West Preston - St Kilda/Fitzroy Street). The part time Route 31 (St Vincent's Plaza - Collins Street West End) will no longer operate.
Routes 70 and 75 will continue to operate along Flinders Street, as well as a new shuttle service (Route 71) between Harbour Esplanade, Docklands and Wellington Parade at Simpson Street, East Melbourne.
Other changes include Route 70 which will extend along Harbour Esplanade and Docklands Drive via NewQuay to its new terminus at Waterfront City.
