A multi-deck car park is coming to Sunbury station, with construction set to start mid this year.

The four-storey car park will be built in central Sunbury to create 300 commuter parking spaces and 100 spaces for shoppers and traders.

The project led by Hume council with construction by local company Kane Constructions is projected to finish mid 2024.

Hume mayor Joseph Haweil said the new car park will improve parking for commuters and shoppers in the municipality.

“Our locals have been waiting far too long for better parking options at Sunbury Station and this new car park will make it easier for commuters and shoppers alike,” he said.

“These extra spaces are critical to reducing congestion and will allow easier access for Sunbury residents to get where they need to go.”

Sunbury MP Josh Bull said the new car park will make it easier for commuters.

“Whether you walk, ride or drive to Sunbury Station – this new car park will make it easier for everyone catching the train,” he said.

The new multi-deck car park will feature accessible parking for people with disabilities, enhanced lighting, and improved signage within the precinct.

The Sunbury Station car park is part of the broader Commuter Car Park Upgrades – Northern Lines project, to which the Australian Government has committed $70 million towards.
