Jewell railway station is located on the Upfield line in Victoria, Australia, and serves the northern Melbourne suburb of Brunswick. It opened on 9 September 1884 as South Brunswick, and was renamed Jewell on 1 February 1954, honouring a long-serving member of the State Parliament, James Jewell, who represented the Brunswick electorate from 1910 to 1949.[1][2]
A disused goods shed sits next to the Platform 1 entrance, whilst a disused signal box is located next to the Union Street level crossing. The main station building, signal box and level crossing gates are listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[3]
In June 2012, VicTrack announced its intention to revamp the station as part of a mixed development that could include station restoration, enhanced open space, and a new commercial and residential development adjacent on the eastern side. A program of community consultation was undertaken to find out local people's priorities for any alterations. Safety and better access were identified the main concerns. VicTrack is to seek interest from developers in 2013.[4]
