Bayswater electorate
Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (14:54): (931) Well, it is the biggest investment into Boronia by any level of government in a generation, so it would not be fair for it not to get its very own constituency question in the big house now that we have just released the early designs, the first concepts, for the brand new Boronia station precinct. So my question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure: with works starting next year, when can we expect to see major works kick off? This is what locals have been calling for for a very, very long time. I was proud to get the project underway and started in the last term of government to secure an election commitment to now see it fully funded in the budget. The Level Crossing Removal Project are now doing the work. They are out there talking to people, finding ways to make this project even better. It has got a new landscaped plaza, it has got new open space improvements at the concourse, station and platform level. We are getting rid of the old ugly bars. It is going to be fantastic, the biggest investment into my community of Boronia in a generation, and I am stoked that the Allan Labor government is getting on with it.
