Redfern Railway Station
Plans for an upgrade of Redfern railway station are being developed and Railcorp are expected to be made more information available in early 2010 - four years after initially announced in 2006. Station would probably not be finished before 2015. Information will be added as it comes to hand.
- Access Upgrade to Redfern Station - Southern Concourse Early Consultation
- Redfern Station was approved for an accessibility upgrade in February 2019 as part of the Transport Access Program. In May Transport for NSW (TfNSW) commenced a consultation around their preferred option which did not include Platforms 11 &12. In July following community push-back around lack of connectivity and discharge of travelers into Little Eveleigh and Marian Street, they consulted on some other options. The project aims to provide a station precinct that is accessible to those with a disability, limited mobility, parents/carers with prams and customers with luggage.
- Proposals impacting Redfern Station Upgrade
- Plans for upgrading Redfern Station have been arround since the 1940's. Here we have collected together material relating to Redfern Station proposals or Rail proposals that impact upon a Redfern Station Upgrade.
- Historical Redfern Upgrade Studies
- In October 2013 Transport for NSW released, following a GIPA request initiated by Lift Redfern, a number of studies undertaken between 2006 and 2010 on Redfern Station - over 800 pages in total. The Documents primarily relate to studies undertaken in preparation for a Gateway review to receive funding from Government. The documents released excluded financial information about the proposals considered. The most recent Gateway document released (Redfern Station Upgrade Gateway Review Planning Session 10 May 2010 - Document 28) shows a preferred design from three option. It also indicated that there was an expectation that construction could commence in July 2011. We have provided both some extracts to enable people to get a quick overview and also will add the Background studies to this section of the site as we are able.
- Lift Redfern Station Campaign
- A broad based campaign was started in January 2012 to get lifts installed at Redfern Station. It is supported by a wide range of organisations including business, the arts, the Aboriginal community, community services, resident groups and local political party branches. A key part of the “Lift Redfern” campaign is to get the appalling access at Redfern Station debated in the NSW Parliament with a 10,000 signature petition and to call on the “Minister of Transport to take immediate action to install lifts to Redfern Station platforms”. Here you can find out more about the Lift Redfern Station Campaign.
- Government Policy on Railway Access Upgrades
- Transport for NSW (TfNSW) has produced both public policy documents and released internal working documents under GIPA requests which provides information about Government Policy, Programmes, selection criteria and prioritisation process. This section of the site contains links to public documents and copies of documents released under GIPA requests.
- City to Eveleigh Proposals
- On 12 July 2013 the NSW Government anounced it would call for Expressions of Interest to develop the rail way corridor between Central and Evleigh including the possibility of a over the railway line redevelopment of Redfern Station. You can find this material on a different section of this website we have not duplicated all the references to Redfern Station in this section so follow this link to look at the Central to Eveleigh development proposals.
