Platform 1 is located on the northern side, while platform 2 is located on the southern side of the station.[1] Eddy Avenue is located on the southern side, where the car park is located.[1] This side of the station also consists of a drop off zone, a ticket machine, and bike storage for commuters.[1]
Both platforms have sheltered seating and help phones for commuters; the help phones are located in the middle of the platform on both platforms, while the sheltered seating differs between platforms.[1] The sheltered seating on platform 1 is located in the middle of the platform, while platform 2 has sheltered seating towards both ends of the platform.[1]
History
The upgrade of the train services in the 1980s led Leighton Developers to pay for a station at Edens Landing.[3] It was installed and named in about 1985,[4] and opened in January 1986.[3]
On 21 April 1992, a second platform opened as part of the duplication of the line.[5]
In 2006, an incident occurred on or around the station, which resulted in the north and south bound services to be disrupted, resulting in stranded passengers being picked up by buses.[6]
A man lost his life after being hit by an express train as it was going through the station in 2008.[7][8]
The road to the station was flooded in 2018, effecting the morning commute.[9] Also, in 2018, a lock it or lose it was conducted of the railway station car-park and, overall, the police were pleased with the compliance.[10]
Station Upgrade
The Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project will be doubling the number of tracks between Kuraby and Beenleigh, with modernised rail systems, station upgrades, and level crossing removals,[11] which will affect the Edens Landing station.
In November 2023, an upgraded station had been proposed.[12] The Department of Transport and Main Roads reviewed the community feedback, which was held between November and December 2023, which the findings were meant to be released in early 2024,[13] but were released in August 2024.[14] It is expected that contractors will be appointed by late 2024, subject to government approvals, while construction timeframes will be confirmed once contractors have been appointed.[13]
