The State Government is inviting commuters and residents to provide feedback on the proposed accessibility upgrade at Ourimbah railway station.
Proposed work includes two new lifts connecting the existing footbridge to the platforms, a new station entrance from the Pacific Highway, new stairs from the footbridge to platform 2 and from the highway bus stop to platform 2, a new access ramp from Shirley St commuter car park to platform 1, improved amenities, lighting, signage, CCTV for safety and platform resurfacing.
Site investigations were undertaken in January and this next step involves consulting train customers and residents before designs are finalised, says Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Adam Crouch.
“This accessibility upgrade will make sure that all train customers. including people with a disability, limited mobility, parents and carers with prams, and travellers with luggage, can access all facilities at the railway station,” he said.
“I encourage everyone to provide feedback on the Review of Environmental Factors document which outlines the plans for the project, any potential local impacts and how these will be managed.”
