We’re upgrading Boronia Station and building a new landscaped plaza on Dorset Road to deliver a modern and accessible precinct for the community.
What we’re doing
Throughout February, we’ll continue setting up the temporary laydown area on the northern corner of Erica Avenue and Orchid Avenue. During this time, we’ll also:
- relocate underground drainage and utilities for the new protective services office on Lupton Way
- start demolition works at 251 and 253 Dorset Road, to make space for the new landscaped plaza
Our usual working hours are Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm, and Saturday 7am to 3pm. We’ll make every effort to complete these works on schedule, however dates are subject to change.
What to expect
You may notice:
- an increase in construction activity, machinery, vehicles and workers
- an increase in noise, dust and vibration near works areas. Our team will have controls in place to reduce and monitor these impacts
- reduced speed limits and traffic management in place around our works: please plan ahead in case of delays
- carparks in Lupton Way will be used at times for works vehicles.
Before building demolition works begin, asbestos identified at 251 and 253 Dorset Road will be safely removed in line with strict health and safety guidelines. We’ll follow environmental controls in line with legislative requirements, to ensure the ongoing safety of both our workers and the community.
