File Community Suggestions - Hills Thalis North Eveleigh to Gibbons St by REDWatch, last updated: Jul 06, 2019 12:21 PM
This suggestion tweeted by Philip Thalis on 5 July 2019 shows how a parallel public and paid concourse could join North Eveleigh and Gibbons Street. Many stations have parallel paid and unpaid concourse so this could be done as part of a single bridge. This proposal allows a paid concourse to platforms 11 & 12 and an unpaid concourse to buses. This proposal does not link to South Eveleigh which is seen as a major requirement both for those exiting the station and for cross rail corridor movements.
File Community Suggestions - Watertower's H solution by REDWatch, last updated: Jul 06, 2019 12:10 PM
This option was sketched up following the TfNSW consultation with Watertower residents. It has a public connection between North Eveleigh and South Eveleigh with a plaza connection to the paid concourse. Ticket barriers could be located off the public concourse. TfNSW do not like this option as they say it is three bridges not one. While not shown the paid concourse could easily extend to lifts and new stairs off platforms 11 & 12.
File Redfern and North Eveleigh Precinct Map - TfNSW 2019 by REDWatch, last updated: Jul 06, 2019 12:03 PM
This map shows the Redfern Station and North Eveleigh Precinct. It is colour coded to separate out different areas. Of importance to TfNSW's Access Programs proposed southern concourse (in the purple area) is that the orange area onto Gibbons street is proposed as a separate development over the top of Platforms 11 & 12. Transport is reluctant to preempt what a developer might do on this site. In the blue shaded are we have the future North Eveleigh development which has historically included a pedestrian and bike link to South Eveleigh. In REDWatch's view the problem with the current southern concourse proposals is that they do not look at what is needed across these three areas. The solution needs provides accessibility access to all platforms, non paid connectivity across the rail corridor from North Eveleigh to South Eveleigh, connectivity to buses and a future North Eveleigh. The proposed use of Little Eveleigh Street for example will not meet the requirements of the new developments in North Eveleigh. Connectivity needs to be planned across the TfNSW silos to provide the best outcome for the present and future communities that will use the station and connect across it.

File Redfern Station Options presentation by Transport for NSW to Stakeholder Forum 4 July 2019 by REDWatch, last updated: Jul 06, 2019 11:31 AM
This presentation shows three additional options to the option preferred by Transport for NSW for a Southern Concourse at Redfern Station. These options were presented to a meetinging of stakeholders where selected stakeholders were allowed 2 representatives. It is the basis for a wider consultation in July 2019. In REDWatch's view none of the options address the key needs for the accessibility of Redfern station to also include platforms 11&12 and to connect to buses. The options also need to be put together in a way that recognizes the need for open connectivity across the rail line that connects people to buses and to South Eveleigh. This presentation can also be downloaded from: https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/system/files/media/documents/2019/Redfern%20Station%20Upgrade%20-%20options%20presentation%20040719.PDF
File Redfern Station Option for Southern Concourse elevated connection through North Eveleigh connecting to South Eveleigh - TfNSW 2019 by REDWatch, last updated: Jul 06, 2019 11:20 AM
This is the proposal for a Redfern Station option for a Southern Concourse with an elevated connection through to North Eveleigh which also connects to South Eveleigh. This detail is from a Transport for NSW presentation on 4 July 2019. The full presentation can also be found in this section of the REDWatch website. At the presentation it was made clear that with the redevelopment of North Eveleigh that it might be necessary later to reroute the connection to fit better with the North Eveleigh redevelopment when plans for this development are finalised. To achieve a connection at South Eveleigh as a single bridge the proposal has separate lifts for platforms 8 9 and 10 that do not connect to the concourse. No visuals for the South Eveleigh landing were shown

Image Little Eveleigh Street Options under Transport's preferred option - TfNSW 2019 by REDWatch, last updated: Jul 06, 2019 10:47 AM
The consultation for Redfern station in May 2019 only showed Transport for NSW's preferred option with a southern concourse discharging into Little Eveleigh Street. This image shows some of the options for changes in Little Eveleigh Street to accommodate the proposal. This image was not released to the broad community but the details were shown to some institutions. At the REDWatch meeting, Transport for NSW said they were talking to Council about Little Eveleigh Street possibilities. Transport also said that Transport could take control of the areas around the station out of Council's control to facilitate movement to and from Redfern station. Each of the options shown in this slide remove parking from Little Eveleigh Street and seek to manage the bike, pedestrian and vehicle traffic conflicts that will result from the southern concourse discharging into Little Eveleigh Street.
Image Redfern Station Option for Southern Concourse connecting through Little Eveleigh and Marian Streets - TfNSW 2019 by REDWatch, last updated: Jul 06, 2019 10:46 AM
The consultation for Redfern station in May 2019 only showed Transport for NSW's preferred option (option 3). The documentation referred however, to two other options that were considered but these details were not released to the broad community but the details were shown to some institutions. This slide is Option 3 and it was the only option released for the public consultation. It proposes lifts to all above ground platforms at the southern end. It connects to Little Eveleigh Street. This option is preferred by Transport for NSW but has drawn strong criticism because of its impact on Little Eveleigh where residents are arguing that a modified Option 2 would be a better option. In the FAQ document for the exhibition TfNSW says: A 'long' concourse option across the rail corridor connecting the Marian Street entrance and Little Eveleigh Street with lifts and stairs to Platforms 1 to 10. This option is the preferred option as it provides access to all platforms from both sides of the rail corridor and has better connectivity to key destinations within the broader precinct. This option would take less time to construct and be opened to customers earlier than option 2.

The consultation for Redfern station in May 2019 only showed Transport for NSW's preferred option. The documentation referred however, to two other options that were considered but these details were not released to the broad community but the details were shown to some institutions. This slide is the Option 2 referred to in the consultation material. It proposes lifts to all above ground platforms at the southern end. It connects through North Eveleigh to Wilson and Ivy Street. This option is rejected due to its longer walk time. This bridge takes an unexplained convoluted path around the heritage Telecommunications building. Earlier plans were close to the rear of the buildings on the southern side of Little Eveleigh Street and had quicker travel times. In the FAQ document for the exhibition TfNSW says: A ‘long’ concourse option across the rail corridor connecting the Marian Street entrance and Wilson Street with lifts and stairs to Platforms 1to 10 with a pedestrian pathway between Platform 1 and Wilson Street. This option was not preferred from a customer perspective with a less desirable access across the rail corridor and the pedestrian pathway. This option would also require more footings to support the bridge and take longer to construct with the increased distance between Marian Street and Wilson Street.
Image Redfern Station Option for Short Southern Concourse 2019 by REDWatch, last updated: Jul 06, 2019 10:40 AM
The consultation for Redfern station in May 2019 only showed Transport for NSW's preferred option. The documentation referred however, to two other options that were considered but these details were not released to the broad community but the details were shown to some institutions. This slide is the Option 1 referred to in the consultation material. It proposes an accessibility solution with three lifts on the northern end of the station and four on the southern end. Under this option, the Southern Concourse does not connect to Little Eveleigh Street. In the FAQ document for the exhibition TfNSW says: A ‘short’ concourse option with lifts and stairs connecting the Marian Street entrance to Platforms 2 – 10. A separate lift could be installed connecting customers from Platform 1 to Lawson Street. This option is not preferred as it would provide poor connectivity for customers interchanging between Platform 1 and other platforms. This option does not meet the project objective of providing access across the rail corridor for customers and the community and connections to key destinations in the broader precinct.
