Mooroolbark Railway Station

As a result of social and safety concerns about Mooroolbark Railway Station and its environs, the Department of Infrastructure (DOI) asked the Shire to undertake community consultation on the future of the station.


The Shire distributed more than 6,000 postcards to Mooroolbark households on behalf of the DOI, seeking residents’ ideas about the station’s future, and inviting applications to participate in a DOI taskforce preparing a vision and action plan for the station. As well, commuters were consulted and schools were notified – some placed articles in their newsletters.


There was an excellent response – more than 600 comments have been received, including a number of applications to participate in the taskforce.


The taskforce will take all responses into account as it prepares its draft Mooroolbark Station Vision and Action Plan.
