Watergardens train station will get 485 new and upgraded car spaces by the end of the year.
Works will commence shortly on the new car park next to Watergardens Circuit Road, which will help to free up local streets and make it easier and safer for more commuters to catch the train.
The new car park will include 26 accessible car spaces close to the station, along with upgraded lighting and CCTV for improved safety and additional 44 free bike parking facilities.
The surrounding environment will also include 5000 new trees, shrubs and vegetation of different maturity levels.
This project follows 95 new and upgraded parking spaces already delivered under the Car Parks for Commuters program on nearby Sydenham Road.
Watergardens Station, situated along the Sunbury Line, services more than two million passengers annually and is set to become level crossing free in 2025.
“This is a massive boost for our commuters to help them access a safer and more accessible train station, making it easier to get where they need to be,” Sydenham MP Natalie Hutchins said.
