Bald Hills train station park ‘n’ ride upgrade
Planning works are being finalised to upgrade and expand the southern side of the park 'n' ride at Bald Hills station.
Bald Hills train station has been identified as a priority site for park 'n' ride expansion due to high demand for parking and overflow into neighbouring streets.
Park ‘n’ ride facilities play an important role in South East Queensland’s public transport system. They connect a diverse range of customers to public transport, can help reduce traffic congestion and improve access for those with mobility difficulties.
The Bald Hills station park ‘n’ ride upgrade project will increase parking capacity at Bald Hills train station. The plan will bring the total number of parking spaces at Bald Hills station park ‘n’ ride to over 400.
The business case for the project is currently being finalised prior to commencing detailed design.
