The site is covered by vegetationand this would need to be removed for the construction of a commuter car park. There is no pedestrianaccess to the station from the southern side of the rail line. Option 1 would require the construction ofpedestrian access including a new lift or ramp.Option 2 would not be a cost effective solution due to the cost of upgrading of the existing Council carpark. The site is a relatively small site at the corner of Burfitt Parade and Euroka Street. The site is alsosome distance from the station and may not provide convenient DDA parking.Option 3 is located within the rail corridor, is at grade and would provide convenient pedestrian access tothe station. This option is the most viable option.Option 3 is the preferred option.Ref No: 2260812 5
