Sharing the Hamilton and Short Street bridge designs
In Broadford, we’re replacing Hamilton and Short Street bridges and lowering the tracks to allow sufficient clearance for double-stacked freight trains. Between 18 November and 15 December, you can view the designs and provide your feedback by completing an online survey or attending one of our information sessions.
View the designs
With construction set to begin in 2025, we’re ready to share the latest designs which incorporates your feedback.
There is also an opportunity to tell us about your preferences on options for a Broadford entry sign, Rupert Street play equipment, landscaping and artwork opportunities.
The final plan for Broadford will be decided based on a range of feedback sources including community input. It is also subject to acceptance from relevant future asset managers.

- Improved layout at Catherine Court

- Gateway creating a welcome entry to town
