Updated designs have been released for the northern section of the Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project in Queensland, including the Kuraby, Trinder Park, Woodridge and Kingston train station precincts.
The plans have been further developed by the LGC Rail Alliance following initial design work this year, and incorporate feedback from previous community and stakeholder consultation.
The community has been invited to provide feedback on the new designs, including the Trinder Park level crossing removal.
The $5.75 billion Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project will double the tracks along the 20-kilometre corridor between Kuraby and Beenleigh, increasing the rail network capacity and improving reliability of services.
The project is also intended to make it easier for the public to access high-frequency rail services by modernising the stations and improving walking and cycling connections, as well as boosting safety and reducing traffic congestion for local communities through level crossing removals.
The updated design for the Kuraby station precinct includes 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 will be moved to Candish Street, which the Queensland Government said will “minimise environmental impacts and improve connections to the station from both sides of the rail corridor”.
The Trinder Park level crossing, between Railway Parade and Station Road, Woodridge will be removed, and a new road-over-rail bridge will be constructed linking to Acacia Road, together with walking and cycling connections.
The Woodridge station precinct design elevates the station, providing street-level public access under the rail corridor.
New lifts and stairs will be provided to the station, as well as a consolidated park ‘n’ ride on Railway Parade.
The Kingston station precinct design provides a solution which will “better integrate” the station with the Kingston Butter Factory Cultural Precinct and avoids the need to reconstruct Kingston Road bridge.
The station precinct designs are available here.
The community can provide feedback between 17 November 2025 to 19 December 2025 via //www.yoursay-projects.tmr.qld.gov.au/logan-and-gold-coast-faster-rail.
In-person community engagement sessions will begin from Thursday 27 November, with the date, time and location of each session available on the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) website.
The release of the designs coincides with further site investigations being carried out between Kuraby and Beenleigh to inform detailed design and construction planning activities.
The outcomes of the community consultation process for Kuraby, Trinder Park, Woodridge and Kingston stations will be shared publicly next year.
Updated designs for other stations and precincts along the southern part of the project corridor will be progressively released, with engagement sessions set to occur early next year.
