Bundamba station is being upgraded to make it more accessible for everyone in the community.
Queensland Rail's Station Accessibility Upgrade Program will make it easier for customers to travel on our network whether you're pushing a pram, carrying luggage, using a wheelchair or injured, you'll be able to use the station with ease.
Key features of the upgrade include:
- A new footbridge with lift access
- Improved accessible parking, including kiss 'n' ride area
- Full-length, high-level platforms
- Upgraded hearing augmentation loops and tactile ground surface indicators
- Upgraded security cameras and lighting
- New wayfinding and platform signage
- Accessible toilets and ticket windows
- New bicycle storage facility
- Improved seating and extended platform shelters
- Improved station building and facilities.
Project update
Bundamba station upgrade works are progressing well with major activities taking place to install the lift shaft on the station building side in preparation for the new lifts. Works are also on track to raise and extend the station platforms to reduce the curve and gap between the platform and the train to improve customer boarding.
Customers and the local community can expect to see the following activities in March and April 2024:
Out of hours works
Works will take place during the following planned track closures:
- 10 to 12 May 2024 - from 11pm on Friday 10 May to 6pm on Sunday 12 May
- 2 to 4 August 2024 - from 11pm on Friday 2 August to 6pm on Sunday 4 August.
General work hours
Works will generally take place 6am to 6pm Monday to Saturday, unless notified.
Impacts
While driveway access will remain available, there will be changes to entry and exit routes at times between 32 and 40 Mining Street.
From late March, the existing station carpark will be closed and a new carpark area closer to Creek Street will open to replace it. This ensures works inside the station carpark area can progress safely. Please see site workers for bike locker access.
Every effort will be made to carry out these works with respect for our neighbours and customers.
We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we build a better station.
Station closure and alternative transport
To fast-track construction and deliver the upgrade as safely as possible, the station is now closed until later this year while major work is underway.
During this time, trains are running express through the station. Customers can look forward to using the new, modern, fully accessible station in the second half of 2024.
