An upgrade of Auchenflower train station has been officially announced by Queensland Rail, as part of the Station Upgrade Program (SUP) that is focused on providing improvements to train stations to allow all customers to travel safely and easily. Auchenflower residents and commuters were also invited to review plans at Auchenflower station to promote the plans.

Mr Bailey stated, “Auchenflower is an important station for the local community, with key connections to the Wesley Hospital and local sporting facilities. Last year, Auchenflower accommodated more than 870,000 passenger trips, however the station is not currently independently accessible for everyone in the community.” “The project will also provide accessible parking and improved security features, such as upgraded lighting and CCTV, and we are now seeking the community’s feedback to help inform the station’s final design.”



Project Details
– New pedestrian footbridge with lift access
– Raised section of platform at assisted boarding points
– New and extended platform shelters
– Upgraded station entrances
– Upgraded security cameras and station lighting
– New way finding and platform signage

These upgrades will significantly improve access to the stations for all customers including those with disabilities, the elderly, parents with prams, people with injuries or even simply those carrying luggage. As part of this Program, the State Government committed $300 million to deliver accessibility upgrades to 14 high priority stations across over a five year period, which includes Auchenflower.



 

Queensland Rail priority list of stations to receive upgrades is continually under review, ensuring stations of greatest need are accurately recognised and are determined by considering a range of factors, including:
– Patronage
– Nearby community facilities
– Existing degree of accessibility
– Proximity of station to alternative accessible stations or services
– Function of the station in the overall transport network
– Projected population growth

Queensland Rail have also received project endorsement from: Accessibility Reference Group which comprises of representatives from peak disability organisations including Guide Dogs Queensland, Better Hearing Australia, MS Society, Endeavour Foundation, Queenslanders with Disabilities Network and Vision Australia.
