Exhibition Station Precinct

Brisbane’s northern lifestyle hub, connecting health, housing, recreation and liveability

Year-round rail services to the RNA showgrounds will complement the ongoing redevelopment of the area as a new lifestyle precinct as well as the nearby Herston Quarter development, providing improved public transport options including for staff and visitors to the Royal Brisbane & Women’s Hospital.

By connecting high growth residential and employment areas, Cross River Rail will enable increased employment as well as property and commercial opportunities.

Video transcript

The video starts with an aerial view of Brisbane and the rail alignment highlighted before zooming down to the Exhibition precinct. Travel times to the stations either side of Exhibition station, and walking routes to surrounding areas are displayed.

The camera then pans down and flies along the new station platform providing a view of the adjacent showgrounds.

The camera then moves from the platform level to a lower-ground concourse and exits the station to the RNA Showgrounds precinct. Turning 180 degrees there is a view of the station as the camera flies up to view the station with the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital precinct in the background.

The view rotates back around to the Showgrounds as the sun sets, night falls and fireworks light up the sky.
