Plans finalised for $60 million facelift of Boronia station

Cranes, trucks and workers will soon descend on Boronia as part of a $60 million upgrade to Boronia’s train station, with the final designs now released.

New look coming: The plans include a new station forecourt canopy, a landscaped plaza between the station and Dorset Road, widening of the station concourse, new platform shelters and extra lighting and CCTV cameras.

• First announced in February 2023 and with concept designs released last November, the project will also create a new park space near the Boronia Junction Shopping Centre, including garden beds, trees, seating and a nature play area.

• Major works will launch early next year, including drainage and utility relocation and demolition at 251-253 Dorset Road.

Traffic changes: Early works will begin soon, including traffic light upgrades at the intersection of Dorset Road and Chandler Road intersection to add a dedicated right-turn arrow signal for drivers.

• Other works will include minor vegetation removal and fencing installations.

• Local commuters are advised to prepare for short intermittent closures and reduced speed limits on parts of Dorset Road and Lupton Way.

Parliament push: Bayswater MP Jackson Taylor said he was “absolutely stoked” with the final designs.

• 🗣️“This is the biggest investment into Boronia in a generation,” said Taylor.
