Boronia revitalisation
Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (10:34): Boronia – it is the place to be, I love it. We have been building a better Boronia with the Boronia revitalisation work. We have now delivered or are in the middle of delivering over 20 localised projects across the CBD, and I want to give you a quick run down of what we have gotten on with: Lupton Way upgrade, better lighting; new murals and laneway arcade upgrade; Boronia breakfast program; wayfinding and branding strategy, which will now deliver works; design of the green spine corridor for Boronia; pop-up events and the Big Flix festival; community grants; youth mentoring; Erica Avenue upgrade, soon to begin; neurodiverse events for young people; upgrading lighting in Chandler Park; the retail and placemaking project; and so much more. Of course do not forget, we are creating the heart of Boronia with a $60 million upgrade at Boronia station, with works set to start next year.
