The final designs for the Ballarat Station upgrade have been revealed.
A new pedestrian overpass will be built at the station, along with lifts and stairs installed at both platforms, to improve accessibility.
The station’s northern entry will also be upgraded with a new ramp and stairs and improved lighting.
It comes after community pushback on the station’s initial designs, with Ballarat councillors calling for the location of the overpass to be reconsidered.
The height of the overpass has been reduced and balconies in the lift landings will provide look out points with views of the station.
The overpass colour palette has also be changed to make it resistant to discolouration from dust and dirt.
With construction set to begin next year, the station upgrade will be completed in 2026.
