Sunbury commuters are one step closer to parking with less congestion after the launch of the major construction phase of the new multi-level car park on Tuesday, September 5.
Preliminary works for the 400 space carpark have been completed, which follows the closure of the existing car park in June.
The project is being delivered by Hume council, and is jointly funded by state and federal governments.
Hume mayor Joseph Haweil said the positive impact of the project will be widely felt by different sections of the community.
“Hume council is excited to break ground on a project that will help free up local streets from commuter parking stemming from the rapidly growing population in Sunbury,” Cr Haweil said.
“We are proud of the many benefits the new multi-deck car park will deliver in reducing congestion, meeting the needs of shoppers, and encouraging more people to catch the train.“
Sunbury MP Josh Bull said “These upgrades will make it easier for both commuters that use the train and the wider Sunbury community who will benefit from increased parking within the precinct”.
Hume council said it is grateful its work is being met with funding contributions at all levels to deliver vital infrastructure that keeps development in line with growth.
