History


Beenleigh station opened in 1885 at its original location at the same time as the opening of the line. It served as the terminus of the line until the South Coast line opened to Southport on 25 January 1889. It became the terminus of the line again when the South Coast line closed on 30 June 1964.
The station was reopened at its current location on 12 March 1988 in time for World Expo 88. The original 1885 station building was relocated to the Beenleigh Historical Village. On 25 February 1996, the line was again extended south when the Gold Coast line opened to Helensvale.
During the 2013/14 financial year, the station was rated as the worst for fare evasion with 1,048 tickets dispensed. South of the station lies a Citytrain network stabling yard.
The station access is prone to flooding during severe weather events as its only commuter access is via an underpass.
Flooding warning signs are posted in the nearby parking areas. Queensland Rail’s Twitter post shows significant high flood levels from the March 2017 Floods.
In November 2023, it was announced that Beenleigh railway station will be relocated approximately 650m north of its current site to its original location between Soudan and Victoria Streets, near the Town Square and Magistrates Court. This change is occurring as part of the Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project. The new station will feature a number of upgrades, including accessibility improvements and increased proximity to the town centre and local amenities.
