Queensland Rail is upgrading platform 1 at South Bank station to improve accessibility for customers and better connect with the adjacent Southpoint precinct.
The platform 1 upgrade will make it easier and safer for customers to use the station and access the connecting retail and residential precinct.
These improvements will support many customers who use our network, such as those using mobility devices, people with vision or hearing impairment, seniors, people with injuries and those travelling with prams and luggage.
Features of the platform 1 upgrade include:
- a full-length raised platform
- platform seating and shelters that cover the majority of the platform and access ramp
- upgraded security cameras and lighting at assisted boarding points
- new wayfinding and platform signage.
Feedback can be provided by contacting the project team via phone, email or mail as outlined under 'Enquiries'.
For regular email updates on the station upgrade, join the project's mailing list.
