ALTERNATIVE car parking spaces will be made available to commuters while Frankston train station is redeveloped.
Works will see 120 spaces at the Beach Street end of the station car park unavailable from last Sunday (10 March) until late this year.
The Old Law Courts car park, at the corner of Playne and Young streets, will have 120 free all-day parking spaces and Frankston Council will make 50 free all-day spaces at the Mechanic’s Institute car park available.
The Level Crossing Removal Authority will lease 50 parking spaces at Bayside Shopping Centre for construction workers and LXRA staff.
LXRA has also leased the 50-space private car park at 122-124 Young Street for construction site use.
A temporary train station will be opened while the main train station is demolished and rebuilt to a new design.
After the new station is complete late next year, the Old Law Courts will revert to paid all-day and short-term parking, and 122-124 Young Street will revert to paid short-term parking.
