History

Landsborough Bomb Shelter

In 1998, construction began on Platform 2.[2]

In December 2006, the State Government announced the station would be upgraded. The work was completed in late 2007, and included the building of new platforms, rainwater tanks, shelters, lighting, and toilets. A new cark park was also built. These upgrades were part of an overhaul of the Caboolture to Landsborough section of the North Coast line. The section was to be duplicated in full by 2012, but so far only the Caboolture to Beerburrum section has been completed.[3] The next stage is currently scheduled to be completed by 2027, between Beerburrum and Beerwah as part of the Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Upgrade (Stage 1).[4] A new park 'n' ride and bus interchange facility opened on the eastern side of the station in 2023.[5]

Previously on the eastern side of the station, a locomotive turning triangle existed. This was removed during the construction of the new park 'n' ride facility.[5]

The station has the Landsborough Air Raid Shelter, one of the few remaining examples of World War II reinforced-concrete air raid shelters in Queensland. Landsborough was a regular stopping point for refreshments for troop trains.[6] The air raid shelter is now heritage-listed.
