New Yeerongpilly CRR Station

Yeerongpilly residents should expect their property values to skyrocket, following the Queensland Governments’ announcement for a new four-platform station to be located at Yeerongpilly.  This will service Brisbane’s new subway tunnel, as well as the suburban rail network, with trains scheduled every 5 minutes during peak times. 

Spokesman for Rail Back on Track, Robert Dow, praised the location as it meant the Ipswich line would be connected with Cross River Rail via the Yeerongpilly loop from Corinda station. The trip from Yeerongpilly to Albert Street is set to take 10 minutes aboard Cross River Rail, shaving almost 15 minutes off the current Ipswich – CBD trip.

The new station would be the last station before the Cross River Rail tunnel, which is proposed to surface just north-east of the existing station.

It is proposed the new station would include:

• new public space for the community
• better facilities
• longer and wider platforms.

The new station is proposed to be located on the eastern side of the existing tracks with an entrance on Wilkie Street.

More information about the preferred location for the southern tunnel portal and the new station at Yeerongpilly is available in the Salisbury to Fairfield local area update.
