Consultation has concluded

As part of Council’s commitment to improving road safety and transport connectivity, we're planning to make improvements around Austinmer Train Station so that your journey is a safer one.

Why are we doing this project?

This project is part of Transport for NSWs ‘Transport Integration and Placemaking’ program to improve access around selected train stations across our city. These improvements are aimed to make your journey to catch the train a safer one.

What is being proposed? 

Last year we asked the community for feedback on our draft concept designs. The Transport Team have considered all the feedback and prepared a detailed design that has incorporated some of what our community told us.

The detailed design includes:

  • A new raised pedestrian crossing at Moore Street / Gilchrist Street close to Kirton Road
  • A new raised pedestrian crossing at Railway Avenue close to Balfour Road
  • A new footpath on Hill St with adjoining kerb ramps across Kirton Road
  • Supporting drainage, road works, lighting, pathing, line marking and signage.


Share your final thoughts by:

Prefer reading material in person? You can visit Thirroul Community Centre and Library to view a copy of the draft Policy and collect a hardcopy of the survey.

Feedback closes 1 December 2025.

Next steps

Your feedback will be reviewed by the Transport Team and will be considered as the design if finalised prior to construction starting.
