This project is part of Transport for NSW's 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?  

The draft concept design includes three additional lights on the traffic island near Franklin Avenue.

    Thank you to everyone who participated in the engagement with our community on proposed changes around Bulli Train Station.

    About the project

    In Bulli, the community was being asked to share their thoughts on proposed lighting at the traffic island near Franklin Avenue.

    There were 15 submissions made in relation to the proposed lighting on the traffic island.

    Results

    Question 1: Do you agree that this plan will improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists in Bulli and lead to better access of the Train Station?

    Question 2: What do you think about the proposed lighting improvements on Franklin Avenue?

    Additional improvements

    Transport for NSW announced on the 11 October 2024 a suite of improvements to several train stations in the Illawarra as part of this program. In addition to the lighting improvements at Bulli station, Transport for NSW will be providing a new sheltered bicycle storage space and upgrading the existing bike racks.
