Initial designs for the restoration of Lal Lal Railway Station have been released, with the community given the chance to provide its input.<\/p>\n

In July, the State Government promised funding for the station under the Community Use of Vacant Rail Buildings Program, with plans to make the disused building into a community hub and neighbourhood house.<\/p>\n

Photos of the proposed works were uploaded on the Lal Lal Community social media page, where a few locals gave their thoughts.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking great. Will be good to see this building getting some love. Now for the pub,\u201d Carmel said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooks great but maybe the toilet could be better placed perhaps closer to the information room, so the public have better access to it?\u201d Natalie suggested.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you have to go with the spaces that are there, not do too much structural change. You would also need to know where the water is,\u201d Kay responded.<\/p>\n

In late November, the Lal Lal Community Hub Committee met to discuss proposed works, which include installation of fences along the roadway and platform, the removal of partitions for a new exhibition space, and the installation of a kitchenette.<\/p>\n

Under the proposed plans, the restored station building will also feature two meeting spaces\/offices, an office for the local Landcare group, a tearoom, and a visitor information centre.<\/p>\n
