The passenger platform was abolished by mid 1975, along with the goods platform.[1] In March 1977, the Munro and Stockdale Parents and Citizens' Committee was formed, in part as a result of VicRail reviewing the viability of the siding.[2] The group wrote to parliamentarians and the Avon Shire Council, asking them to support the siding. Avon Shire Council ultimately ended up writing to VicRail, requesting that the siding be retained.[3]
