Lindum Station Precinct Upgrades

We are working with all levels of government to improve safety and accessibility at the Lindum Station and level crossing.

We have investigated transport issues relevant to the Lindum precinct, including:

  • traffic and pedestrian movements
  • bus and rail operations
  • active transport connections
  • park 'n' ride facilities
  • station improvements 
  • road network proposals.

An earlier study completed in 2019-20 included community consultation, which helped us to better understand the area's current and future transport challenges and opportunities. This enabled us to map a way forward to ensure a safe and reliable transport system for the future.

Work to improve the Lindum Station precinct is now being delivered and progressed through a number of projects, with delivery of safety upgrades to the Lindum Station level crossing completed in 2021, and Lindum Station park 'n' rides upgrades delivered in 2022. Work is continuing to plan further intersection safety upgrades, accessibility upgrades, and longer-term solutions for the precinct. 

Benefits

  • Improves safety
  • Increases capacity
  • Improves network efficiency
  • Better active transport
  • Reduces travel time

Projects underway at Lindum will improve traffic movement, pedestrian, bike riders and commuter safety, and improve overall connectivity within the precinct.

Longer-term potential solutions will ensure that current and future growth within the precinct is addressed appropriately while enhancing safety and accessibility. 

Current projects

Work to prioritise critical upgrades for the Lindum Station precinct at Wynnum West has started.

Potential solutions for the precinct are now undergoing detailed planning to confirm design requirements:  

  • Lindum Train Station accessibility upgrades, including an improved pedestrian overpass with lift access and Park 'n' Ride facility upgrades.
  • Further safety upgrades for the Lindum level crossing intersection, including an intersection realignment and traffic signals.

Completed works

Safety improvements to the Lindum Station level crossing were completed in 2021. Works included:

  • longer boom gate
  • new traffic median islands
  • new pavement and road marking.

New carpark was opened in December 2022, delivering 30 new parking spaces at Lindum Station (Sibley Road).

Long-term solutions

In conjunction with the Australian Government and Brisbane City Council, we are investigating potential long-term solutions like grade separation of vehicles and active transport from the rail corridor.
