The 2.7 million dollar upgrade to the Marino Railway Station has officially been completed. I would like to extend my thanks to the overwhelming support of the local residents and businesses that have offered their support during the 3 year campaign.
A special thanks goes out to the former Marino and Kingston Park Neighbourhood Watch committee members and volunteers who gave their time and dedication to this project. Without them, this would not have been possible.
The station is now fully operational with ten live CCTV cameras covering the station platform, tunnels and the Newland Ave carpark, including a 24 hour emergency phone.
Other improvements include, a information monitor, providing real-time live information, tactile markers, improved lighting throughout the station precinct and a new all weather platform structure.
I would to acknowledge Alex Dighton MP, Louise Miller Frost MP, the Honourable Minister Tom Koutsantonis and the Honourable Premier Peter Malinauskas,
for their support and assistance, including attending numerous meetings with me to implement this community safety initiative.
Finally, as a result of further community feedback, additional seating will be installed at both the southern and northern ends of the platform to accommodate mobility boarding and exit points.
