The best people to initiate the development of a community is its stakeholders. We're thus motivating each other to support this petition for the ff:
- Construct the second carpark at the other side of the rail lines. Why? (a) The current car park is too small as one can’t find a space there in some of the days. (b) Some commuters are forced to cross the rail tracks to catch the train because of the long detour to the carpark at the other side of the rail, something which endangers their lives. We should not wait for an accident to occur before fixing this issue. Donnybrook Hotel threatens towing of car if one parks around the hotel to catch the train. Please this issue on car parking is urgent.
- Avoid 2-coach trains during peak hours. In some of the days, the train runs with only 2 coaches during peak hours, discomforting commuters. Also, the train frequency from Donnybrook to the city, i.e. 7.50am, 8.18am and 9am, may be reviewed. One who misses the 8.18am one must wait for over 40 minutes. The schedule of the bus route plying between Donnybrook and Craigieburn stations can be improved. E.g. The bus can depart after the train so that those who miss the train can use the bus to catch train at Craigieburn.
- Modernise the Donnybrook train station and remove the level crossing as the number and size of the communities sharing the station are growing fast. A better train station will also de-ruralise Donnybrook & environs.
- Erect footpaths between estates and Donnybrook station: people walk along the road quite close to the drive lanes in the dark. Such people can be hit my motorists.
The petition will be sent to the ff people/leaders:
- Mr. Danny Pearson (Minister for Transport Infrastructure & Suburban Rail Loop,
- Mr. Colin Brooks (Minister for Development)
- Mr. Rob Mitchell (MP for McEwen Electorate)
- Mr. Craig Lloyd (CEO, City of Whittlesea)
- Ms. Debbie Wood (Director, Infrastructure & Environment, City of Whittlesea)
- Ms. Lydia Wilson (Chair, City of Whittlesea Council Admin)

The Donnybrook Station is very dangerous and needs to be upgraded for people’s safety.
Donnybrook train station needs urgent upgrade, as the traffic and the community is growing rapidly around the station, it’s be coming too congested.
New train station
Am a northerner and would benefit greatly from this improvement.
We are requesting further upgrades to the train station, as it serves a rapidly growing community. The station is a vital hub for several newly developed suburbs, including Kalkallo, Mickleham, and Donnybrook, with many passengers depending on it daily. While the station recently underwent some upgrades, the improvements are insufficient to meet current and future demand. Key issues that need to be addressed include: Lack of weather protection: The station is not fully covered, making it difficult and uncomfortable for passengers to use during adverse weather conditions. Safety concerns: There is no safe and convenient way to switch platforms, forcing passengers to cross the railway tracks, posing a safety risk. Inadequate parking facilities: The current car park is insufficient to accommodate the growing number of commuters, leading to congestion and inconvenience. Given the rapid development in the surrounding suburbs, we urge authorities to undertake a comprehensive upgrade to the station. Improvements should focus on better weather protection, enhanced safety measures, and expanded car parking to ensure the station can effectively serve the growing population now and in the future.

The Donnybrook-Kalkallo-Mickleham-Beveridge community is growing rapidly and ought to be matched with adequate public transport services and facilities to tame the car dependent culture from this time. It becomes extremely difficult to shift behaviours when people develop the automobile culture. So, we need to urgent provide the requisite infrastructure to meet this growing population.
