Two Rail Stations for Springfield

In 2011, Springfield City Group Chairman, Maha Sinnathamby, welcomed the Premier’s commitment to public transport in the fast-growing western corridor.

“I have to applaud the Premier for her visionary approach and for her very strong leadership in this,” Mr Sinnathamby said.

“The train station will be a huge benefit to the whole region, which has been planned to accommodate up to half a million in the next 30 years. It is a huge opportunity for decentralisation from Brisbane.

“The news that construction will start on stations at both Springfield Central and Springfield Lakes is an indication of the pace of growth in the western region.”

Today, Springfield Central and Springfield Lakes station function as the two primary train stations in Greater Springfield, providing commuters with better access to Brisbane CBD.
