We’re upgrading Ballarat Station to improve accessibility, safety, and connectivity for all public transport users, while considering the heritage of the station. The team at the Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP) is delivering this work. 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.
We are writing to inform you that as part of project works, from Thursday 30 January to the end of construction in 2026 we’ll close the Ballarat Station bus interchange and relocate the bus pick-up and drop-off bays to Lydiard Street North, with the pick-up to the south of the rail line.
More information can be found in our latest Ballarat Station Upgrade works notice.
We would appreciate you passing this information onto your school community.
If you would like any additional information about these works in the form of posters, signage or flyers or would like to arrange a meeting with members of the project team, please respond via reply email or email contact@levelcrossings.vic.gov.au
We also recently released final designs for the new accessible pedestrian overpass, lifts, stairs and upgraded northern entrance which can be found online in our latest community newsletter.
More information about the project can be found on the project website.
