January 2016 SEQ Rail Stabling Program Banyo Visual Barrier Royal Parade Poles What does a typical stabling facility look like? A typical stabling facility is a fenced open-air site with usual rail infrastructure including train tracks, connected to the main line, overhead power supply, signalling and communications systems, CCTV and lighting. Additional infrastructure and buildings are required to support stabling operations. This includes crew facilities comprising offices and staff amenities, staff car parks, roads and walkways. Existing Building The South East Queensland (SEQ) Stabling Program involves the design and construction of new or additional train stabling facilities in four locations: Robina, Banyo, Elimbah and Woombye. As part of the program, the new Banyo stabling facility will accommodate four six-car trains and will be located between the existing Shorncliffe railway line and the maintenance yards adjacent to Royal Parade. The $116 million project was announced on Wednesday, 6 May 2015. The SEQ Stabling Program is part of the broader New Generation Rollingstock project that will see 75 new suburban trains added to the South East Queensland City network, a 30 per cent increase of the current fleet. CPB Contractors (formerly known as Leighton Contractors) will design and construct the new stabling facilities to help house 75 new six-car trains which are scheduled to commence services in mid-2016. May 2015 DETAILED DESIGN January 2016 CONSTRUCTION September 2016 COMMISSIONING December 2016 COMPLETION Visual As part of the Banyo stabling facility, a 2.2 metre high visual barrier will be installed between the existing railway line and residences on Royal Parade to provide screening from the new facility. The project team recently undertook consultation with residents located on Royal Parade to seek feedback on the appearance of the visual barrier. The three options were painting the visual barrier a solid colour, a mural or the inclusion of different shapes or patterns. The project team is currently reviewing all feedback received and will undertake further consultation if required. The final design will be announced prior to construction of the visual barrier scheduled for July 2016. Where can I find out more information?
