Accessibility upgrades complete at Tuggerah Station

Construction on the $40 million Tuggerah Station upgrade in New South Wales has been completed.

The upgrade is being delivered as part of the New South Wales Government’s commitment to making public transport safe, inclusive and easy to use for all passengers. Especially those living with a disability, older people, people with prams or luggage and others who might be experiencing mobility problems.

The upgrade includes a new boarding assistance zone, new lifts, a new footbridge and concourse, and improved accessible public toilets.

There are also 15 new accessible parking spaces in the commuter car park, upgraded bus stops, new footpaths, enhanced lighting, CCTV and pedestrian signage.

These latest works come as part of the New South Wales Government’s $800 million Safe Accessible Transport program, which is accelerating train station upgrades across the network.

Other features include new and extended canopies at station platforms and a widened platform around the entrance.

Two new lifts at Tuggerah were opened in October 2024 as the two-year project progressed. A small amount of finishing work will continue through mid-2025.

This is the first upgrade at Tuggerah since ramps and a footbridge were added in 1988. Transport for NSW awarded the contract for the design and construction of the upgrade of Tuggerah Station to DT Infrastructure in December 2022.

John Graham, Minister for Transport said this upgrade is important to ensuring everyone in the Central Coast community has equality of opportunity and can lead their lives without impediment.

“We continue to work towards delivering accessibility to all public transport passengers regardless of their needs or where they live,” he said.

Kate Washington, Minister for Disability Inclusion said investing in accessible public transport is an investment in an inclusive society, where everyone can travel with dignity and independence.

“Upgrades like this don’t just improve infrastructure, they improve lives by enabling everyone to fully participate in their communities,” she said.
