Major construction has commenced on a modern, accessible and safer Boronia Station precinct.

Because only the Allan Labor Government understands the importance of improving public transport to make it easier and safer to catch a train.

The Boronia Station Upgrade will deliver important accessibility and safety enhancements for passengers when it is completed in spring this year.

The upgrade will include a new landscaped community plaza on Dorset Road – delivering more green open space and seating, while also providing a new community meeting place and make it easier for people to travel between the station and Boronia’s busy shopping precinct.

A new signalised pedestrian crossing will also make it safer for people to access the station and nearby shops.

With major works now underway, Lupton Way will close to traffic from Friday, 27 March until late September.

During this time, crews will widen the station concourse, build new platform shelters and upgrade seating and lighting, enhancing comfort and safety through improved visibility across the plaza and station area.

Minister for Transport Infrastructure Gabrielle Williams last year unveiled final designs for the precinct, featuring a striking new station forecourt and an expanded concourse to improve connections across the rail line.

A new pocket park near Boronia Junction Shopping Centre will include garden beds, trees, seating and a nature play area, creating a welcoming green space for the community.

More than 50 new trees and 3,000 plants and shrubs will be planted across the station precinct, Boronia Station Reserve and the new plaza.

The station will also feature an upgraded pick-up and drop-off zone on Lupton Way, better footpaths to both station entrances and more bike hoops for cyclists.
