Concerns were raised about equipment for railway works has been parked on a sensitive area. It was made clear to the Friends of Bradshaw Bushland Reserve and Environment and Open Spaces Strategic Advisory Committee that the vegetation along the railway track on the reserves back fence would be protected. It has apparently been fenced off. It is still under threat and damage has been caused by drainage works.
Canary Island Palms have been set aside from Parkdale Station Precinct to be planted in the new station’s forecourt. This was negotiated by Council with LXRP as a nod to the planting scheme of the original station.
