I drove out there to have a look this morning, too. I didn't mind the station honestly, it's definitely nicer than original Pakkie. Nobody's bothered to update the roads or entrance on Google maps yet, so when you put it into the maps it tries to take you to the industrial area on the other side where there's no entrance.
I don't think there's any plans to rename the station to whatever name is chosen as the name of the new suburb though. I would've thought they'd've picked a name before opening the new station, but I'm not a mathematician so I guess they know best
I think it IS just East Pakenham, isnt it? The industrial estate is very much just a part of Pakenham anyway.
The station is, but the naming commission rejected "Pakenham East" as a name

fair! Wouldnt really wanna use the name pakenham if you had the choice not too.
