Works on the Boronia Station Upgrade are continuing, with the project set to deliver a safer and more accessible station precinct.
The station was temporarily closed in May to allow crews to start works to widen the concourse and upgrade platform facilities.
Crews have been using cranes to lift materials and equipment on the station platforms, including new passenger shelters and seating, toilets, lighting, and sections of the upgraded passenger waiting room.
In the coming months, crews will continue constructing the new protective services officer building and access ramps, and start external cladding and roofing on the new ticket office and building foundations for the new platform canopies.
While Lupton Way is closed until late September, workers have been carrying out drainage works and installing retaining walls, and building the new community plaza connecting the station forecourt on Lupton Way with Dorset Road.
Boronia Station is closed until spring, with shuttle buses operating between Bayswater, Boronia and Ferntree Gully stations to connect passengers to train services.
When completed in spring, the modern new station forecourt will feature a striking canopy inspired by flora from the nearby Dandenong Ranges, and an expanded concourse to improve connections over the rail line.
The upgrade will also add more greenery across the precinct, with more than 50 new trees and about 3000 plants and shrubs to be planted across the station area, Boronia Station Reserve and the new plaza between Dorset Road and the station.
