Dandenong railway station is one of Melbourne’s “worst” and needs an urgent overhaul, says councillor Jim Memeti.
He also said the council should pitch for a combined events centre as part of a mooted stadium to host A-League team Melbourne City.
The events facility could potentially stage concerts, filling the void left by the likely closure of Sandown Racecourse which hosts a variety of festivals.
On 26 April, Cr Memeti led a Greater Dandenong council motion to lobby the State Government to fund a business case to rebuild the station.
He said commuters have long complained about its overcrowding, steep stairs, layout, amenity, security and safety concerns.

The Longines Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) preparation - both flawed and challenging - is complete, but Caspar Fownes won’t know the success of the operation until Classique Legend shapes to unleash his scorching late sprint at Sha Tin on Sunday.
Classique Legend arrived in Hong Kong on 11 November, presenting Fownes with a string of hurdles, not least horse health and form, before undergoing an unorthodox build-up to the HK$22 million sprint.
