- Albion train station will be rebuilt and upgraded to support future interchange demand in Brisbane's inner north.
- The Queensland Government has developed the preliminary design for the New Albion Station Project, featuring improved accessibility with four new raised, straighter and wider platforms to accommodate increased passenger movements.
- The project opens the door for the planned 'Albion Exchange' transit-oriented development, delivering housing, retail and commercial development in Albion focused around an integrated and accessible new rail-to-rail interchange station.
- The Department of Transport and Main Roads will conduct a series of information sessions throughout September where community members will have the opportunity to find out more about the New Albion Station Project, provide feedback and register to receive the latest project news.
The Miles Government will deliver a new Albion interchange, and alongside this project is a significant Transit Orientated Development, the 'Albion Exchange' being delivered by Geon Property.
The Albion precinct is set for a significant urban renewal with the new interchange and transit-oriented development, delivering up to 1200 new residences.
The precinct will also feature commercial, retail, lifestyle, and entertainment spaces as part of the new Albion station, and the new exchange development.
The concept designs for the New Albion interchange have today been unveiled, providing another exciting glimpse into South East Queensland's future train network.
The Albion interchange will create a single rail transfer point for passengers travelling to and from the Northern suburbs following the start of trains running through the Cross River Rail tunnels.
Albion station was identified as the preferred location for a new interchange station in Brisbane's inner north to support the future network.
Cross River Rail will change the way train services operate and how customers travel. Providing a second Brisbane River crossing will create increased capacity for train services across the SEQ network.
This introduces the need for a key interchange station in Brisbane's inner north to provide a single and efficient point of transfer for passengers between services.
The new interchange will provide a modern station including lifts, stairs, a ticket office, accessible toilets, wayfinding and signage, lighting and CCTV, delivering a safer and more comfortable experience for passengers.
The station facilities will also link both sides of the rail corridor, enabling easy access to and from the surrounding Albion precinct.
The station will be connected by a main entry located on an elevated southern concourse (over the tracks near Albion Road) and a northern overbridge.
Information about the preliminary design is now available on the TMR website including the opportunity to provide feedback.
The public will have the opportunity to attend a series of information sessions from September 4-16. Community members will have the opportunity to find out more about the New Albion Station Project.
This will help inform further project design development, market engagement and a procurement process for the rebuild of the station, which will be undertaken later this year.
