History

Pomona railway station opened in 1891 with completion of the line from Cooran to Cooroy.[1]

Following withdrawal of staff from the station buildings, Noosa Council in 2000 negotiated the removal of the historic station structures closer to the town center, on the opposite side of the tracks. Today the old station is an art gallery and tourist information center. The former station master's house is a community activities center.

Following removal of the railway buildings, a 'bus shelter' was placed on the single short platform. In 2009, the platform was extended with scaffolding and plywood materials.[2] It was intended as an interim arrangement until a permanent extension was built.[3] The temporary platform was washed away, and had to be rebuilt, following flooding in 2012. Work on a new, permanent, full-length platform commenced in November 2018. The reconstructed station opened in March 2020 and includes a distinctive Indigenous motif artwork. The new platform is higher, level with the floor of trains, and includes full access for people with a disability. Opposite the platform lies a passing loop, used for one train to overtake another, or for when two trains traveling in opposite directions pass each other. New pedestrian paths connect the station to Factory Street and to the town centre via Station Street.

Services

Pomona is serviced by two daily City network services in each direction.[4] The No. 632 bus services a bus stop adjacent to the railway station carpark.
