CITISWICH train station to get major facelift
 |
02/08/2010
Commuters to Citiswich Business Park will reap the benefit of QLD Government spending on public transport infrastructure with Ebbw Vale Train Station to get a major 'facelift'. Ebbw Vale Train station is a major commuter station bordering the southern boundary of the estate and forms an important piece of transport infrastructure in the $1bn project.
The work is being completed by the State Government through a $200 million allocation to upgrade almost one-third of the train stations across South East Queensland.
The state government has allocated $400,000 in funding between Ebbw Vale and Riverview stations for platform refurbishing and resurfacing work.
The QLD State Government Minister for Transport, the Honourable Rachel Nolan said "the program is the biggest upgrade since services began in the 1860s and will give these stations a fresh new look."
Funds have been allocated to Ebbw Vale Train Station to support the growth of Citiswich Business Park.
Local Member for Bundamba, Jo Anne Miller welcomed the funding announcement.
"I'm pleased our area has got its fair share in this record spend on the South East Queensland network," said Ms Miller.
"It's important we make improvements to Ebbw Vale train station with the new Citiswich Business Park at Bundamba expected to employ about 5000 people once it's complete."
"The new Hoepner Road now under construction in the business park, between Brisbane Road and the Warrego Highway at Dinmore, may also prompt large increases in people using Ebbw Vale train station."
Ms Nolan said patronage on the Ipswich line continued to grow with more than 14,500 trips made during peak times each day in the first quarter of this year.
Platform works are expected to commence at Ebbw Vale Station next month. Works will include the improvement of the platform surface at the stations before taking a final step to seal the new bitumen.
Works will be completed outside of peak travel times and there is not expected to be any disruption to services.
