As the owner of the state’s rail transport assets, we recognise we have a great responsibility to use these resources to contribute to a thriving state.
We work closely with community groups that share our objectives to preserve land and railway properties, to make the most of our assets and support the best outcomes for communities.
Landcare partnership
As one of Victoria’s largest landholders, we understand the importance of preserving land assets. That’s why we work in close partnership with Landcare Australia.
As a major sponsor of its Grassroots Program, we support an extensive program to protect and restore native grasslands in and around railway corridors.
Stationeer Volunteer Program
The Station Volunteer Program (previously known as Stationeers) engages volunteers across Victoria to beautify train station precincts across the metropolitan and regional network.
The program encourages volunteers to work together in their local community to create a welcoming and sustainable environment through planting, weeding, mulching and other maintenance projects.
Through the work of station volunteers, the look and feel of railway stations across Victoria are enhanced. There are currently 47 station volunteer groups.
How the program is funded
Since 2008, funding for the program has been provided by transport partners VicTrack, Department of Transport and Planning, V/Line and Metro Trains Melbourne
In 2025, VicTrack became responsible for the management and delivery of the program on behalf of the transport partners.
Prior to this, the initiative was known as the Stationeers Program and delivered by Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria on behalf of the transport partners.
How VicTrack works with volunteers
VicTrack supports station volunteer groups with advice, assistance and training. VicTrack adheres to the National Standards for Volunteer Involvement.
Volunteers are provided with:
- safety or Personal Protective Equipment, such as high visibility vests, gloves and signs
- ongoing safety training
