Wattle Glen train station car park
Ms WARD (Eltham) (17:24): (6453) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Public Transport, and the action I seek is for the minister to provide advice to me regarding plantings that will be instigated as part of the Wattle Glen station car park upgrade. Wattle Glen are a small, tight-knit community, and while their station and access is important to them, so is the local amenity and landscape. Naturally, as a community surrounded by the green wedge, locals are always conscious of any vegetation removal. While many are supportive of the increased commuter car spaces, they want to see their community retain the natural environment as much as possible. I ask the minister to provide me with advice on how many trees and plants will be planted to offset those that are removed due to car park works, what types of plants the community can expect to see and what community involvement can ensue.
