Loganlea is set to get a new train station, and this is your chance to tell planners what you want in it.
A new multi-million dollar station will be located closer to the hospital and TAFE and Loganlea State High School on the opposite side of Loganlea Road.
The idea is to provide an improved and integrated public transport hub for the area.
It would be jointly funded by the state and federal governments.
“The road and rail transport corridor between Brisbane and the Gold Coast is one of Australia’s busiest inter-city commuter corridors,” Federal Minister for Population, Cities and Urban Infrastructure Alan Tudge said.
“This project will lead to longer-term planning improvements on the Gold Coast and Beenleigh rail lines and it’s so important we get feedback from local people so we can deliver them the best result.”
Queensland Minister for Transport and Main Roads Mark Bailey said: “Relocating the station east will improve that all-important access to the hospital, TAFE and high school, and in the long term set up future upgrades on the Gold Coast and Beenleigh rail lines.
“But it’s vital we work with the families and workers who use it every day to get it right.”
Federal Member for Forde Bert van Manen said project benefits will include improving pedestrian connections and support future capacity improvement works on the line from Gold Coast to Brisbane.
“Community consultation on the Loganlea Station will be via an online survey and over the phone,” Mr Van Manen said.
“Due to COVID-19 restrictions, face-to-face consultations are not being held. I encourage everyone to complete the online community survey to provide their ideas for the new station.”
The governments want thoughts about better access, amenities, pedestrian and bike-riding connections and a potential park ‘n’ ride expansion.
