The $140 million project involves turning the existing Ferny Grove train station commuter car park into a mixed-use retail, commercial and residential hub while, at the same time, providing additional parking spaces for commuter vehicles. 

Major construction activities are due to commence in July 2021 and be completed by August 2023.
