History

The Rochedale Busway Station was proposed in 2007 to include:

As part of the Stage 2 upgrades to the Pacific Motorway between Eight Mile Plains and Daisy Hill, the South East Busway was extended to Springwood bus station, and Rochedale busway station constructed. The Park 'n' Ride was changed to have a capacity of approximately 400 vehicles. [5]

Construction began in August 2022. Originally scheduled for a 2024 opening, [6] Translink announced on 24 April 2025 that the station would open 12 May 2025, with changes to timetables for both local buses and express buses to Brisbane City. [7] State MP for Springwood Mick de Brenni accused the Crisafulli state government of unnecessarily delaying the opening of the station, stating, "the signs are up, the asphalt is laid and even the service boards for the buses have been lit up for months now." [8]
