Burpengary station reopened to customers and services on Monday 9 September, when major construction works for the station accessibility upgrade were complete.
Queensland Rail's Station Accessibility Upgrade Program makes it easier for customers to travel on our network whether you're pushing a pram, carrying luggage, using a wheelchair or injured, you can now use the station with ease.
Key features of the upgrade include:
A new footbridge with lift access
Improved accessible parking
Full length high-level platforms
Upgraded hearing augmentation loops and tactile ground surface indicators
Upgraded CCTV security cameras and lighting throughout the station and carpark
New wayfinding and platform signage
Accessible toilets
Accessible ticket windows
Improved seating and extended platform shelters
A park ‘n’ ride with space for almost 500 cars for customers, 350 of which are already open and the rest to follow when ongoing minor works are complete
A 24-bicycle lock up enclosure with new security swipe access
New station office and facilities.
Temporary arrangements and ongoing works
We will continue to work to keep making things better for you, our customers, including completing the carpark on the eastern side of the station, a new kiss ‘n’ ride and a permanent bus stop on the Burpengary Road side of the station. These areas will remain partially closed to the public.
A
temporary kiss 'n' ride area will be located in the carpark accessed from the
Rowley Road entrance.
More station features to come include 11 accessible car parks and nine motorcycle parking bays.
The existing construction site office area in this carpark will remain in place until all upgrade works are complete.
The current temporary bus stop will remain open until the nearby permanent bus stop is complete.
Works will generally take place 6am to 6pm Monday to Saturday, unless notified. Customers and the local community are advised to be aware of these works and plan their station access accordingly.
Alternative transport
As Burpengary is accessible and open to train services and customers, the Shuttle bus 661 service is no longer operating.
