Updated designs have been released for the northern section of the Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project, including Kuraby, Trinder Park, Woodridge and Kingston station precincts.
Queensland Transport and Main Roads Minister Brent Mickelberg said the community was now able to provide feedback on the designs, including the Trinder Park level crossing removal.
Minister Mickelberg said the designs had been further developed by the LGC Rail Alliance following initial design work this year and incorporated feedback from prior community and stakeholder consultation.
He said the Kuraby station precinct updated design included a new footbridge, lift and stairs to improve station access and provide better connections across the rail corridor to local destinations in the community.
“Trinder Park station will be relocated to the edge of Acacia Forest Park and the park ‘n’ ride moved to Candish Street, minimising environmental impacts and improving connections to the station from both sides of the rail corridor.”
Minister Mickelberg said the Trinder Park level crossing, between Railway Parade and Station Road, Woodridge would be removed, and a new road-over-rail bridge would be constructed linking to Acacia Road, together with walking and cycling connections.
He said the Woodridge station precinct design elevated the station, providing street-level public access under the rail corridor, significantly improving safety and local connectivity.
“New lifts and stairs will be provided to the station, as well as a consolidated park ‘n’ ride on Railway Parade.”
Minister Mickelberg said the Kingston station precinct design provided a solution which would better integrate the station with the Kingston Butter Factory Cultural Precinct and avoided the need to reconstruct Kingston Road bridge.
“Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail is a significant project in supporting the South East Queensland region’s growth and readiness for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games,” he said.
“It will improve rail capacity on the network, result in safer and less congested roads with the removal of five level crossings, and provide modern accessible station precincts for commuters, as well as improved walking and cycling connections.”
