One option is to construct a new building on the western or eastern sides of the current station, with the existing building to be repurposed.
Another option is to renovate and extend the existing building “in line with heritage and council guidelines”.
The design proposal includes an airconditioned customer lounge with improved seating and toilet facilities, improved signage, service information screens and an emergency help system.
Upgrades are also proposed to the station car parking to include a drop-off zone integrated with other transport providers.
The proposal features accessibility improvements including tactile ground indicators, handrails, adjustable desk height at the luggage check in and new accessible toilets.
