More parks for Mooroolbark

 A re-elected Labor State Government would build up to 450 new and upgraded car parks at Mooroolbark Railway Station.

The cash would come from the $150 million Car parks for Commuters Fund.

Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said the existing car park was often full by the morning peak, forcing commuters to park elsewhere – clogging up nearby local streets.

This investment will aim to double the spaces at Mooroolbark, with a deck to be built on the existing car park with works to be incorporated into the Manchester Road, Mooroolbark level crossing removal.

The project would also include new lighting and CCTV to make the station safer.
