The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I have been advised:

The $1.5 million committed towards the upgrade of the Woodlands Park Railway Station forms part of the $99 million Station Refresh program, announced in the 2021-2022 state budget.

The proposed scope for the Woodlands Park Station refresh includes a new shelter, new furniture (seats and bins) and LED upgrades to the existing lighting. Also proposed are works to improve the asphalt surface, installation of tactile ground surface indicators along with platform line marking and fencing and painting of platform faces so as to improve the overall appearance of the station. Given that the platform is an island platform there is very little scope for landscaping within the rail corridor.

The works are proposed to be undertaken in the 2021-22 financial year with planning and long lead procurement currently underway. The works will be undertaken in accordance with Department for Infrastructure and Transport station standards and will be delivered to minimise disruption to the travelling public.
