The Carpark extension at Cobblebank station is now open.
New commuter parking at Cobblebank Station on the Ballarat Line has increased availability by 80 spaces.
The new car park, which includes two accessible spaces, was built to the north of the existing car park and features improved lighting, CCTV and is connected via entry and exit points to the original car park.
Civil construction company Ace Infrastructure delivered the car park on behalf of VicTrack, with
funding from the Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution Fund, administered by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.
Cobblebank Station was constructed in 2019 with 190 car parking spaces. With the new car park now open, there’s a total of 270 spaces available.
Melton Mp Steve McGhie said that constructing the new Cobblebank Station car park on previously vacant rail land has made it easier for people in the rapidly growing area to access public transport.
“We are delivering thousands of new and upgraded parking spaces at stations across the state, like we have at Cobblebank Station,” he said.
“The car park’s CCTV and lighting makes it safer and more accessible for the local community to park and catch public transport during the day or night.”
