Warragul Car Park

Back to Speeches

The Warragul railway station has a major problem with car parking which is only going to get worse as the population increases and commuter numbers continue to rise. The railway land has been earmarked for and a number of studies have been completed which support the construction of a car park on the south side of the rail line. The Baw Baw Shire Council has allocated $60 000 towards the preparation of a detailed master plan for the Warragul station precinct in the hope that it will facilitate progress on the development of the car park. I call on the Minister for Public Transport to fund the construction of this car park as a critical piece of infrastructure in supporting regional growth, improving access to the regional rail network and maximising the benefits of the investment in the fast rail program.
