Cannon Hill Train Station Accessibility Upgrade
The focus of Queensland Rail’s Station Accessibility Upgrade Program is on upgrading stations and associated facilities to be accessible by all, irrespective of their ability.
PDT were initially engaged by Queensland Rail to design and document the reference design for accessibility upgrade works to Cannon Hill train station. Once complete, PDT were novated to John Holland for the duration of the construction phase.
Cannon Hill Station uniquely had to consider the existing freight line and the Queensland Rail-heritage on-platform station building, which represents an example of turn of the century timber framed station construction. The scope of works to Cannon Hill included upgrades to the existing carparking arrangement, a new bike enclosure for public use and a new lift-accessible footbridge. Core-zone raising of the existing low-level platforms was also delivered for easier access onto trains.
