We are making Ballarat Station more accessible for everyone, with a $50 million upgrade – and you can now have your say on the early designs.

The new plans include installing a pedestrian overpass with a passenger lift and stairs to both platforms. The upgrades will make it easier for people with a disability, as well as passengers with prams and luggage, to get around the station and use public transport, while also respecting the heritage of the station precinct. The project is set to be completed by 2026.

Multiple community information sessions occurred in Ballarat throughout June – but you can still submit your thoughts online, up until July 7th, by visiting engage.vic.gov.au/ballarat-station-upgrade.
