Nambour station has been identified as a priority station to receive an accessibility upgrade. This is being undertaken as part of Queensland Rail’s $212 million upgrade program.

Subway closureOn Monday 11 April 2016 the Nambour station subway, connecting Civic Way with the Price Street carpark, will temporarily close for approximately eight months, weather and construction conditions permitting. The closure will enable the subway to be refurbished, including the installation of a lift, new lighting and CCTV.

During the subway closure, a free shuttle bus will run between the two sides of the station via Price Street (please see shuttle bus route overleaf). Passengers will not require a rail ticket to board the shuttle bus, and its movements will be coordinated with the train timetable wherever possible.

Shuttle buses will operate every 10 minutes Monday to Friday, 4.30am to 1am (the following day) and on Saturday and Sunday, 4.30am to 11pm. Outside of these hours, access across the rail corridor will be via the signed pedestrian detour on Price Street.

Platform closuresOn Monday 4 April 2016 platform 2 will temporarily be relocated to the other side of the rail line next to the bus interchange. The existing platform 2 will then close for works.

On 11 April 2016 the Woombye end of platform 1 will close to enable a construction zone to be established.

Nambour station will remain open for regular services throughout the upgrade.

Passengers are asked to follow directional signage during this time.

Construction impactsRegular working hours for this project will be 6am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday.

Due to the complex nature of the work and the need to maintain ongoing rail services, after hours work will be required in addition to regular daytime activities. Residents and other stakeholders will be given advance notification of construction activities likely to cause impacts, including after hours works (nights and Sundays, if required).

Queensland Rail would like to thank customers and the community for their patience during this important project.
