Queensland<\/a> Rail has released exciting new concept designs showing what the multi-million-dollar upgrades to Bundaberg railway station could look like, with the local community invited to provide feedback.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The designs were informed by initial community consultation and feature upgraded customer facilities including airconditioned customer lounges with improved seating and toilet facilities.<\/p>\n

Accessibility improvements will likely include the installation of tactile ground indicators, handrails where required, variable desk height at the luggage check in desks and new accessible toilets.<\/p>\n

Minister for Transport and Main Roads, Bart Mellish said Bundaberg railway station is a key regional travel hub that saw more than 77,400 customers move through the station last financial year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur regional train stations are hubs for our communities, so it’s exciting to view these latest designs that look set to transform Bundaberg station into a world-class facility,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re upgrading rail infrastructure right across our state, ensuring our network provides the best facilities for passengers.”<\/p>\n

Upgrades to stations car parking will also likely be delivered along with a drop-off zone that integrates with other public transport providers.<\/p>\n

Customers will have a number of avenues to provide feedback on the designs, including an online survey through a QR code available at stations, face-to-face-engagement at the stations and in local retail outlets.<\/p>\n

Queensland Rail CEO Kat Stapleton spoke about the new station design.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe invite all of our customers to provide their feedback and we can’t wait to hear what you think about this exciting station upgrade,” she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cQueensland Rail is all about connecting communities and Bundaberg station is essential in doing that \u2013 whether you’re using it to get to and from work, medical appointments or the trip of a lifetime.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur vision is to deliver world-class rail services for our customers and this station upgrade will enable us to do that.”<\/p>\n
