Bayside 'sky rail' project would have a massive impact on property prices.
Frankston train line level crossings removal project could cost more, after the Andrews government decided not to build "sky rail" in some of its most marginal suburbs. Edithvale and Bonbeach residents will not have elevated rail near their homes, as those key sections of the train line will be lowered under the road.
However, the government ruled out dropping the rail beneath the road in Carrum, concerning that it is not possible to lower the line due to the impact a trench would have on the Patterson River and the nearby wetlands. An elevated Carrum rail bridge will stretch out for 900 metres.
The impact of elevated rail on homes close by would be massive, with concrete structures impeding natural light. Dmitriy Evdokimov, a local real estate advisor said properties that front the elevated rail could face a value reduction. Houses abutting the train line were already valued at about 10 per cent below the suburb median, and the elevated rail might bring that to 15 per cent.
But for other residents in the suburb, he said, infrastructure projects were a leading indicator of price growth.
As for the Bonbeach, Chelsea and Edithvale level crossings lowering the tracks and upgrading stations could have a positive impact on property prices in those suburbs because it would minimise traffic congestion and make it easier for commuters.
