We’re upgrading Ballarat Station to improve accessibility, safety, and connectivity for all public transport users, while considering the heritage of the station.

We’re building an accessible pedestrian overpass, with a passenger lift and stairs on each platform. We’re also improving access to the existing northern station entrance with a new ramp, stairs, and automatic sliding door.

These improvements will make it easier and safer for all commuters to cross between the platforms and use the northern station entrance, closest to other destinations such as the bus interchange and multideck parking, in the station precinct.

People with disability, and those carrying luggage or pushing a pram will no longer need to leave the station to cross the rail line via Lydiard Street.

Early concept designs for the new pedestrian overpass are now available to view.

Thank you to everyone who provided their feedback on the concept designs. We are now in the process of reviewing all the feedback received.

The Ballarat Station Upgrade is scheduled to be completed in 2026.
