The iconic Station House building in the heart of Mt Evelyn is getting a much-needed upgrade to improve accessibility and safety.
The site is home to the Reading Room, the Mt Evelyn Neighbourhood House and Tasty Az, all vibrant and busy services.
The Team have worked with users to ensure limited disruptionand services will continue to operate during the works.
Works will remove the old disability ramp, which is in disrepair, the retaining walls at the front of the building and createawrap-around accessible walkway, running from the accessible carparks to the Station House entrances.
A new stair at the rear of the building will complete the upgrades.
There will be some disruption to the surrounding area - but the builder will do their best to minimise any inconvenience.
Some car spaces and sections of footpath, at the front of the Station House, will be fenced off on Wray Cresent, but there will still be adequate parking for community in the township.
This is a complex project due to the steep site, but the works will significantly improve this busy community site for all, supporting services for the community for decades to come.
Council will also work with the Street Party organisers to ensure temporary stair access from Wray Crescent to the Station House for their event on 26 October.
