Holmview train station upgrade

Holmview train station is being upgraded to improve accessibility, safety and customer experience.

The new station will feature a range of improvements to make travel easier, including straightened and raised platforms, increased platform coverage, new lifts and improved park ‘n’ ride facilities. 

The Holmview train station upgrade will be designed and constructed in compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act (1992) to provide and improve accessibility for all users.

As part of the Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project, we are making changes to the level crossings at Holmview Road and Spanns Road in Beenleigh.

Level crossing closures

We are making changes to the level crossings at Holmview Road and Spanns Road in Beenleigh.

Holmview Road level crossing

We will be closing the level crossing at Holmview Road, Beenleigh.

The closure is the result of a range of factors including safety concerns and current and projected traffic counts in the area. A new road will be constructed, connecting Holmview Road to Chapman Drive to maintain access in the area. As a part of this closure, a new pedestrian connection will be provided over the rail corridor. 

Flood resilience was considered as part of the design for this new road.

Spanns Road level crossing

We will be closing the Spanns Road level crossing after our investigations and further assessments of traffic counts and flood modelling. 

The upgrade to close the level crossing will include:

  • both sides of Spanns Road to be turned into cul-de-sacs
  • improvements to local roads and alternative access routes
  • upgrade the intersections at Chapman Drive and Boundary Street, and Boundary and Kokoda streets. 

Flood resilience upgrades will also be delivered along Kokoda Street and new pedestrian connections will be provided over the rail corridor.

Current status

We are currently reviewing your feedback from the community engagement we held between November and December 2023 with findings to be released in early 2024.  

The procurement process started in late 2023, and we expect to appoint contractors in late 2024, subject to government approvals.

Construction timeframes will be confirmed once contractors have been appointed.
