Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (14:34): (183) Sixty million dollars is now fully funded for a massive upgrade of Boronia station. Funding is locked in and works are now set to start next year. I promised we would deliver a massive upgrade to our station, and I am absolutely stoked that the Andrews Labor government has delivered the funding needed to get on with delivering the biggest investment in Boronia in a generation. But it is not just an upgrade to the station, it is so much more than that. A big part of the works will deck over the southern rail trench closest to Woolies to create a new vibrant community heart, create lots of open space and connect Boronia up like never before. So my constituency question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. The Andrews Labor government announced that works would start in 2024 and be completed in 2026, but I know the community is keen to know a bit more detail on those time lines and when we can expect to see those shovels in the ground. This truly is a game changer for our community, and it is something locals have called for time and time again. I am proud that we are also getting on with over 20Â projects already delivered or being delivered as part of the Boronia revitalisation work, and this is the next big step in backing in Boronia. Only Labor will deliver the upgraded station and infrastructure Boronia needs and deserves.
