Creating safer connections to Coniston Train Station
As part of Council’s commitment to improving road safety and transport connectivity, we are proposing new lighting and a new footpath around Coniston Train Station.
Why are we doing this project?
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 designs include:
- Four new light poles on the eastern side of the station.
- A new footpath along Gladstone Avenue near the station’s parking area.
- New wheel stops in the station’s parking bays
- Supporting kerb ramps and line marking.
Where is this project up to?
We began consultation with the community from August - September 2024 to welcome feedback on our proposed changes to Coniston Train Station. This consultation has now concluded.
Our Transport Team is now working through all that was heard throughout this project. You can still view the draft concept designs for this project and see what we have planned:
- DRAFT Design of proposed changes between Bridge Street and Miller Street
- DRAFT Design of proposed changes to Gladstone Avenue Plan 1
- DRAFT Design of proposed changes to Gladstone Avenue Plan 2
How will community feedback be used and what are the next steps?
In the first phase, we were asking for your feedback on our draft concept designs. We’re interested to hear your local knowledge and ideas.
In the second phase, we will check back in with the community to finalise the detailed designs and take any last comments before we start construction.
Construction is planned for 2025/2026 financial year as listed in our Infrastructure Delivery Program.

Consultation has concluded
Currently there is no footpath on Gladstone Avenue connecting the street parking to the station entrance. To access the station, commuters using the Gladstone Avenue commuter car park are directed to walk between the parking and the road.
Additionally, the footpath located east of the railway line between Bridge Street and Miller Street is not serviced by lighting and offers little passive surveillance. This impacts perceptions of safety in the area at night and as a result discourages active modes of transport to Coniston Station.
We are proposing
- Four new light poles on the eastern side of the station. It will be along the pedestrian link between Bridge Street and Miller Street.
- A new footpath along Gladstone Avenue near the station’s parking area
- New wheel stops in the station’s parking bays
- Supporting kerb ramps and line marking.
