Car park construction continues WORKS on the multi-deck car park at Frankston Station are ramping up. Early works on the project began last year. Last week federal infrastructure minister Catherine King said that “major works” were underway. “Frankston Railway Station is a major transport hub, with more than 700,000 passenger trips on the line each year,” she said. “As Frankston continues to grow, this new multideck carpark will deliver widespread benefits to the community, helping ease congestion on local roads.” The federal and state governments each contributed $43.5 million to-
wards the project. Victorian public transport minister Gabrielle Williams said the car park “is all part of making it easier for locals to catch the train on the Frankston line which will be level crossing free by 2029.” Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said “this is a massive investment in car parking at Frankston Station that will provide better, safer access to train and bus services for local commuters.” The car park will have around 500 spaces, and is expected to be open late this year. The project also includes new CCTV and lighting, and bike parking.
