Location

Pimpama railway station is located on the Gold Coast Line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Gold Coast suburb of Pimpama. The station opened on 20 October 2025.

History

The Gold Coast railway line opened in stages from 1996 to 2009. During its construction, provisions were made for a future station at Pimpama however due to low development in the area, the station was never built.

In November 2017, the Queensland Government committed to building three new in-fill stations on the Gold Coast Line as part of the AU$5.4 billion Cross River Rail project: Pimpama, Hope Island and Merrimac. ^[1] The Pimpama site was chosen in order to accommodate growing population in the region, and to alleviate pressure on the nearby Ormeau and Coomera railway stations. ^[2]

ADCO Constructions was contracted to design and build the station. ^[3] Construction began in late 2022, ^[4] with "major works" having begun by January 2023. ^[3] The station opened on 20 October 2025. ^{[5] [6]}

Services

Pimpama is served by Gold Coast line services from Varsity Lakes to Bowen Hills, Doomben and Brisbane Domestic Airport. ^[7]
