Queensland Rail is upgrading and modernising the platform at Cooran station to improve facilities for customers. This is part of a $4 million project to upgrade platforms at three Sunshine Coast line stations, replacing them with more durable, high level structures. Works will be undertaken in two stages to ensure there are no impacts on services and will commence inmid-August for approximately four months. Initially, installation of safety fencing and removal of existing scaffolding will be carried out at night while there are no services operating, to minimise impact for our customers.
