Pacific Motorway, Eight Mile Plains to Daisy Hill Upgrade (Rochedale bus station and park 'n' ride)
As part of a rolling program of Pacific Motorway (M1) upgrades, detailed design for the Rochedale bus station and park 'n' ride is now complete.
A new bus station and park ‘n’ ride facility with capacity for approximately 485 vehicles will be constructed at the corner of School and Underwood Roads in Rochedale.
