Residents, traders and station users are being invited to provide feedback on a design for the new multi-deck car park being built at Belgrave Station.
The design for the new car park includes provision for 470 additional spaces, an increase that is expected to meet the needs of the growing number of people parking at the station and free up parking in surrounding streets.
Monbulk MP James Merlino said community input into the car park design is of high importance.
“We want to give the community every opportunity to give their feedback as we progress our plans to increase car parking at Belgrave Station,” he said.
“I encourage people to take a look at the concept design and let us know their thoughts.”
In mid-2019 VicTrack held community drop-in sessions and offered people the chance to provide feedback online.
In total, over 370 people participated in a survey or attended a drop-in session.
According to the State Government, overall, people supported the construction of the new car park, with the majority citing increasing the number of car parking spaces as the most important benefit of the upgrade.
The new car park at Belgrave Station is part of the State Government’s plan to increase car parking at stations to improve access to public transport.
Since 2014, almost 10,000 parking spaces have been delivered at metropolitan and regional stations across the state, and the government is now delivering 11,000 more new and upgraded spaces.
People can see the design and have their say by visiting the Department of Transport’s Get Involved website and completing an online survey. The survey is open for three weeks from 27 April.
The feedback received will be taken into account by architects and designers when putting together final designs for the car park.
It is understood people will have further opportunities to provide feedback as the project progresses.
