Preparatory works have started on the upgrade of the Narangba station park ‘n’ ride, which will expand capacity and deliver new safety and accessibility improvements for commuters.

The project, managed by the Transport and Main Roads Department on behalf of Queensland Rail, will expand the existing car park by more than 100 spaces. Once finished, the facility will increase capacity from around 380 to nearly 500, helping to ease pressure on parking in the growing Moreton Bay region.
Early works commenced in September 2025, with activities including fencing, drainage, vegetation clearing, and setting up site access. Main construction will follow.
Key features and benefits
The expansion brings several upgrades aimed at improving commuter convenience and safety:
- More parking spaces — more than 100 additional bays, increasing capacity from around 380 to nearly 500.
- Accessible parking — four new bays will be added, increasing the number of accessible spaces in the car park to six.
- Motorcycle parking — six new motorcycle bays will be included.
- Safer access — a new entry point will be built off Main Street, with a left-turn lane to improve traffic flow.
- Security upgrades — new lighting and CCTV cameras will be installed across the facility.
- Improved connectivity — a pedestrian pathway will link the car park more directly with the station.
The new spaces will be built on vacant rail corridor land along Main Street, to the north-west of Narangba station.
Community impact
Local commuters have faced overcrowded parking, particularly during peak travel times. The expansion aims to reduce overflow parking in nearby residential streets during peak periods.
By increasing overall capacity and introducing safety improvements, the expansion is expected to ease this pressure and provide a more reliable park ‘n’ ride option for the community.
The upgrades align with the role park ‘n’ ride facilities play across South East Queensland in supporting public transport and managing congestion.
Next steps
Early works commenced in September 2025, with main construction to follow. Some disruption may occur around Main Street during construction; the project page has contact details for more information.
