Coomera train station, upgrade park 'n' ride
We have upgraded the park 'n' ride facilities at the Coomera train station.
To minimise the impact on commuters, work was carried out progressively over stages—opening newly constructed spaces before proceeding to the next stage.
Stage 1: A new commuter car park was created on Northern Link Road, adding 74 car parking spaces.
Stage 2: A new eastern commuter car park was created, adding 336 parking spaces and a signalised entrance from Foxwell Road.
Stage 3: Works included upgrading the bus layover area, bus driver facilities, the addition of new secure bicycle storage and the reconfiguration of the existing car parks (adding 99 car spaces).
