- The Crisafulli Government is getting on with the job of delivering generational infrastructure for South East commuters releasing new designs for a modern, better-connected station precinct at Beenleigh.
- Part of the Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project, the new station will unlock barriers in the regions public transport network improving capacity and reliability.
- The Crisafulli Government is delivering a fresh start for Queensland after a decade of decline under the former Labor Government.
The Crisafulli Government has released updated designs for the new Beenleigh station precinct, marking another step forward in delivering a more reliable and better-connected rail network for South East Queensland.
The upgrade forms part of the Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project, which will double rail tracks between Kuraby and Beenleigh, increasing capacity, improving reliability and reducing travel times between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
The new Beenleigh station will be relocated approximately 650 metres north, closer to the town centre and key community facilities, creating a more accessible and integrated precinct for commuters and local businesses.
The updated design reflects community feedback and delivers a safer, more accessible station with improved walking and cycling connections, a new bus interchange, and a significant expansion of park 'n' ride facilities.
Importantly, the new station location allows construction to occur while keeping the existing station operational, minimising disruption for commuters.
The precinct will also benefit from local road upgrades and improved traffic flow, supporting the growing Beenleigh community and surrounding suburbs.
Minister for Transport and Main Roads Brent Mickelberg said the release of the updated design was about delivering a fresh start for commuters in one of the state's fastest-growing regions.
"The Crisafulli Government is committed to getting on with the job of delivering the infrastructure Queenslanders need, after a decade of delays, missed opportunities and underinvestment in key transport corridors under the former Labor Government," Minister Mickelberg said.
"We said we would build a more reliable transport network for Queensland and that's exactly what we are doing with projects like Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail.
"After years of planning uncertainty and under delivery under Labor, we are progressing a design that reflects the needs of the community with a station closer to where people live, work and connect.
"The new precinct will support more frequent and reliable services, reduce congestion on the network and make it easier for people to get where they need to go."
Queenslanders can view the updated design and provide feedback until 31 May.
The upgraded Beenleigh station precinct is jointly funded by the Crisafulli Government and the Australian Government.
