Northern Victoria Region
Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (12:52): (1063) My question is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport. Will the minister increase the number of car parks at the Shepparton train station? I was recently contacted by a constituent who expressed their frustration at the lack of car parking available at the Shepparton train station. The extremely small car park, which only has 45 car parks, including two disabled parks, is often completely full, and with additional train services due to commence on the Shepparton line there will only be increased demand for parking. There is land available just south of the station on Purcell Street that I am informed is railway land that could be paved and used to provide additional parking spaces. I urge the minister to consider using this land to expand the number of car parking spaces before the new services commence.
