 Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (13:32): All right, Hansard, I title this members statement ‘You beauty!’ At Boronia station the transformation is underway. The final renders are out, and it is looking fantastic. I have posted about this, and I will keep posting and keep posting till the cows come home. In the last two days alone close to 200,000 people have viewed the final plans for the Boronia station precinct. The better Boronia station precinct is underway, and I am so excited. That could be the subheading of this members statement, Hansard – thank you for your fine work. But it is absolutely thanks to the community for calling time and time again to get this job done, and now the Allan Labor government is getting it underway and getting it done. We have got 200,000 reached. We have got the Instagram reel with King Charles pulling down the reveal. Obviously it was not really King Charles. I do not think anyone really believed that it was, but it engaged them all the same. We have got a new, upgraded station. We have got fantastic new shelters on the platform, a new landscaped plaza and new platform canopies. We have got more CCTV, more lighting, a widened concourse, an upgrade of Lupton Way and an upgraded entrance off Erica Avenue. It is absolutely on for young and old down at Boronia – it is next level – with works starting this year and with major works kicking off in 2026 and delivered by next year. Thank you to the team at the Level Crossing Removal Project.
