 Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (13:01): My question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. Will the minister commit to providing more parking at Donnybrook train station? The number of parking spaces at Donnybrook train station falls far short of demand, and every morning commuters fill the residential roads and surrounding streets. In May last year I asked the government to increase car parking at Donnybrook train station, and the minister replied to say that the government were aware of the high demand for access to public transport, especially at Donnybrook train station, but they had no further planned car parking upgrades at Donnybrook station. Results of the community consultation for the Donnybrook Road upgrade were recently released and show that locals are concerned about the need for improved access to the train station. The Allan Labor government must pay attention to local voices and include plans for increased car parking at Donnybrook station as part of its plans to upgrade Donnybrook Road.
