The station is named for the nearby Shrine of Remembrance and in honour of the ANZAC spirit of service and sacrifice.[1] It is being built using the cut-and-cover method.

Location
Anzac Station will be built below St Kilda Road in the suburb of South Yarra, and is planned to feature four entrances.
Anzac Precinct
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.[5]
During the construction period the Domain Road tram line, St Kilda tram line and Domain Interchange tram stop will close and experience short term closures.[6][7]
