An accessible and safe train station for Broadmeadows

A train station platform at Broadmeadows Station

Broadmeadows Train Station needs Government funding to enable the upgrade of the station to enhance safety, accessibility, and amenity, reinforcing its role as one of Melbourne’s key transport hubs in the North.

Federal Electorate: Calwell

State Electorate: Broadmeadows

Our community cannot wait until the completion of the Suburban Rail Loop for an accessible and safe train station in Broadmeadows.

The Station provides a direct bus link to Melbourne Airport and is therefore a significant visitor gateway.

Key issues include non-compliant accessibility ramps, narrow walkways, inadequate lighting, and poor integration with surrounding commercial and residential areas. With almost 7% of our community needing assistance with day-to-day activities, they deserve a Broadmeadows Train Station that is safe and accessible for people with disabilities.

Upgrading the station is crucial for improving access to the Broadmeadows Town Centre’s health, civic, employment, and education precinct, which includes major employers such as Kangan Institute (TAFE), Northern Health, and DPV Health.

An improved station will significantly enhance the experience and safety of transport users, and the attractiveness of Broadmeadows as a place to invest for jobs.

Project outcome

The upgraded Broadmeadows Train Station will support greater usage and benefit the diverse range of users accessing the town centre’s crucial health, education, civic and employment services.
