On Saturday 12 July 2025 we launched the Marino Rail Care Group. The orientation morning was held at the Marino Community Hall.
The Marino Railway Station infrastructure redevelopment is almost finished. The next phase will see the environment around the station being significantly improved.
Planning is well advanced and the scope of activities is varied.
The initial redevelopment will start at the Bandon Tce entry point and progress through to the Newland Ave precinct.
Initial work agreed upon includes the following projects.
- A retaining wall replacement on the western side with garden beds (To be undertaken by a contractor) in preparation for volunteer planting.
- A mural through the underpass. (Based upon an ocean theme)
- Electrical box wrap, containing the history of the area (including photos of the Marino Railway Station with a 1950 steam train and water pump).
- Mulching eastern and western sides.
- Swale put in on eastern side for visual appeal and eco system support.
We will continue to work on a master plan for the area adjacent to Newland Ave, ensuring the planting of native species and vegetation is appropriate and relevant for the Marino coastline.
