Consultation has concluded

As part of Council’s commitment to improving road safety and transport connectivity, we are proposing to install new lighting and footpath links around Thirroul Train Station.

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?

The draft concept designs include:

  • A new footpath across the traffic island near Railway Parade
  • Bus stop upgrades including the extension of kerb outside the station entrance
  • Five new light poles in the Thirroul Train Station south carpark. They will be on the south-eastern side of the train line near Thomas Gibson Park.

What do you think? Have we got it right?

We have created an online survey where you can see the draft concept designs in detail and share your thoughts.

You can share your thoughts in other ways. These include:

Next steps

We will use your feedback and local knowledge to finalise a detailed design. We will let the community know about the final design plan before we start construction.

Construction is planned for 2025/2026 financial year.

Have questions?

You can give us a call on 4227 7111 to speak with the Engagement Team, or email engagement@wollongong.nsw.gov.au and we will get back to you.

Feedback on the draft concept designs close 25 September 2024.

    The Railway Parade traffic island allows vehicle traffic to circulate from Railway Parade to the entrance of Thirroul Station. There is currently limited pedestrian access across the Railway Parade traffic island for pedestrians travelling east-west. Pedestrians are often navigating both cars and buses in this area of Railway Parade.

    Thirroul Station's southeastern car park is highly used for parking, pick ups and drop offs, but is also an access point for cyclists and pedestrians travelling to the train station. Therefore, the carpark has a mix of vehicles and pedestrians who are interacting at various hours of the day and evening. There is currently limited lighting available in this carpark, impacting perceptions of safety in the area at night and as a result discouraging active modes of transport to and from Thirroul Station.

    We are proposing:

    • Install a footpath at Railway Parade Traffic Island
    • Bus stop upgrades including the extension of kerb outside the station entrance
    • Add new lighting in the Southern Carpark near Thomas Gibson Park
    Railway Parade
    South-eastern carpark
