Anzac Station is located directly under St Kilda Road, near the intersection of Albert and Domain Road. The station has four entrances:
– On the outer edge of the Shrine of Remembrance Reserve
– Albert Road Reserve
– Two entrances at the new Domain train/tram interchange directly above the station on St Kilda Road
Forever by Danie Mellor's covers the huge glass wall at the main State Library Station entrance on the corner of Swanston and La Trobe streets.
The artwork features historical photographic portraits of Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung women set in contemporary landscape imagery taken by Mellor on Wurundjeri Country.
The historical portrait photographs were sourced from the archives of the neighbouring State Library Victoria with assistance from the library’s curatorial team. Mellor used infrared photography to create the landscape imagery that serves as a layered setting for the significant historical portraits. The artwork is an act of storytelling that acknowledges Victoria’s First Peoples and especially women, honouring their social, familial and cultural contributions to Melbourne.
Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Elders were consulted in the development of the artwork.
Celebrated Victorian First Nations artist, Maree Clarke, has created Tracks – a line-wide artwork that spans all 5 stations. Clarke’s artwork showcases native fauna found across the traditional lands and waters of the 5 Kulin Nation clans – Wadawurrung, Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung, Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung, and Bunurong / Boonwurrung. Maree’s artwork comprises large scale floor mosaics created from coloured granite. The granite was cut using a waterjet, with each piece finished and assembled by hand. There are a total of 35 footprints featured across the 5 station platforms.
The footprints at each station have been chosen by the artist from native animals (living and extinct) found in the different natural habitats across Kulin Nation Country, which includes Greater Melbourne and parts of south-central Victoria.
The station’s service buildings on Franklin Street also feature imagery of Wurundjeri women Elders, created by Greenshoot Consulting in collaboration with Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung elders, particularly Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin. Featuring both contemporary and historical Elders, these works celebrate the important role of women within First Peoples communities.

State Library Station has a ’trinocular‘ design involving three large, overlapping mined tunnels with vaulted ceilings, with wide aisles and sweeping arches and a large, concrete framed portal at its La Trobe Street entrance echoing State Library Victoria’s grand design features Platforms at State Library are more than 35m below street and 19m wide, with a 10m high arched ceiling above the platforms featuring chandelier lights designed and made in Melbourne Urban design principles have been integrated into the design of the station precinct to reduce the risk of flooding in low-lying areas.
