Geoff Wilson has been working hard to get a new plan for the redevelopment of Ferny Grove Railway Station up and running. As a result of Geoff’s determination to find a solution for local commuters, a developer has recently proposed a $100 million redevelopment of the site.  Concept plans have been drawn up and include large commercial and business areas and substantial car parking, which will be available to commuters. Not content with the QR plans that were knocked back in the past, Geoff went to the private sector for a plan that would work for them. The State Government is now eager to meet with the developers and discuss exactly what they have planned for Ferny Grove. The plan will have to obtain appropriate planning approvals and undergo comprehensive community consultation. However, Geoff is delighted that a positive and innovative proposal has been put forward and believes that it deserves everyone’s support. The local community wants a successful project up and running and Geoff will move heaven and earth to make it happen.
