Ballarat Station Upgrade kicks off

As a member of the Western Program Alliance, we've kicked off works to upgrade accessibility and connectivity at Ballarat Station to make it easier for passengers to get around the station precinct.

Our Alliance team will deliver a new pedestrian overpass, along with lifts and stairs installed at both platforms.

We will also upgrade the northern entry to the station, with a new ramp and stairs to be built, along with improvements to lighting and landscaping. The upgrades will help improve accessibility for people with a disability, prams or luggage.

Community feedback helped to shape the final designs which were released last year, with further architectural work completed to reduce the visual impacts of the new accessible overpass on the existing station buildings.

The project will be completed in 2026.
