Rochedale busway station

The Rochedale Busway Station is a proposed Busway Station to be built at Rochedale near Underwood Road as part of an extension to the South East Busway. The Station will be serviced by TransLink bus routes. It will be the station between the existing Eight Mile Plains Station (currentlty the last station on the South-East Busway) and Springwood Bus Station.

Proposed Facilities

The Rochedale Busway Station is proposed to include:

• a Park'n'Ride facility with approximately 750 car-parking spaces;^[1]
• bus turnaround facilities and access to allow entry/exit to the Busway by local bus routes;
• other mixed-use development.^[2]

Development

The extension of the South-East Busway from Eight Mile Plains Busway Station to Rochedale Busway Station was proposed in 2006-07 as part of the Queensland Government Pacific Motorway Transit Project. No timetable for construction has currently been set and construction is subject to allocation of government funding. It is expected that the extension will be delivered in stages between 2011 and 2026 in conjunction with an upgrade to the Pacific Motorway.^[1]

There is also a proposal to construct bus lanes along the Pacific Motorway between Eight Mile Plains and Springwood as an interim measure.

A Concept Design Study was finalised by the Queensland Government in 2009 and identified the preferred alignment for the Rochedale to Springwood section.
