Carolyn Male MP, State Member for Pine Rivers, said that Bray Park train station passengers will soon have an additional 76 car parking spaces on the western side of the station.

Carolyn Male MP inspected the construction on the new car park today, which will take the total number of car parking spaces available at the station to 226.

“This car park extension off Brahms Street will encourage people to park their cars at the train station and take public transport to their destination, rather than adding to peak hour congestion on the Anzac Avenue and Gympie Road,” Carolyn Male MP said.

“This car park will be fully-fenced, covered by CCTV and have good lighting, which means it will be a safe and secure place to leave your car.” » more
