Race for parking

THE Pakenham Racecourse has been sold and a new “state of the art” racecourse is about to be developed at Tynong.
Surely the Cardinia Shire Council could have seen that a great opportunity existed to set aside land on the current racecourse site for parking, which would relieve the limited parking space on Station Street before the developers begin construction.
Many other railway stations suffer similar problems with commuter parking at a premium therefore discouraging many people using trains.
Is it too late to correct this oversight?
