Project overview

Transport for NSW has delivered 250 new car parking spaces for commuters at Warwick Farm Station as part of the NSW Government’s Commuter Car Park Program.

This project provides more convenient access to public transport at this key interchange and will help to ease congestion on our roads. The new car park was built with sustainable features, including solar panels and the provision for future electric vehicle charging spaces.

Key benefits

  • two new levels providing over 250 additional parking spaces
  • new and improved lift and stairs
  • additional accessible and motorcycle parking spaces
  • over 600 solar panels on the rooftop level
  • provision for future electric vehicle charging spaces
  • CCTV, lighting and wayfinding signage for improved safety and security.

Project status 

Repair and resurfacing work on the external commuter car park is now complete. This is in addition to the extension of the multi-storey commuter car park that was completed earlier this year.

Work to install the Transport Park&Ride infrastructure is now complete. Park&Ride is designed to free-up more spaces at commuter car parks for those who want to travel on public transport. 

Transport Park&Ride provides up to 18 hours free parking each day. All you have to do is complete a public transport journey by tapping on and tapping off using an accepted Opal card, then use the same card when you exit the car park. If using a contactless credit card or debit card on public transport, you will need to set up and link your vehicle and card details with a Transport Connect Account.

    Public art at Warwick Farm 

    Adorned on the exterior of the multi-storey commuter car park is Tesserae Wall created by artist Abdullah M.I. Syed. The artwork tells the story of Warwick Farm’s diverse community and its rich history of motor and horse racing.

    Constructed from 150 colourful number-plate style aluminum plates, the undulating, geometric form is punctuated by light reflectors. Reminiscent of a modern racetrack, a car park grid, and traffic and railway signs, the sculptural installation responds directly to the context of the site, forging a strong understanding of place and identity.

    Syed identifies the train station and car park as transient spaces that momentarily bring a diverse group of people together, before they move in their different directions. Tesserae Wall, with its assorted, interlocking elements, aims to represent this cultural mosaic that is united by the richness and strength of the community. Showcasing words of affirmation such as ‘welcome’, ‘warmth’ and ‘wonder’, the work brings dynamism, optimism and joy to the area, as the artist strives to harness and build upon the collective sense of pride in Warwick Farm.

    Built with the environment in mind

    The new car park is designed and built to reduce embodied carbon emissions and adapt to climate change. The features include:

    • building the car park with an average of 30% low carbon concrete mixes, and an average of 70% recycled content in reinforced steel
    • over 600 rooftop solar panels which provide power for the building and weather protection for commuters and parked cars
    • provision for electric vehicle charging spaces in the future
    • vegetation offsetting at Jacqui Osmond Reserve in alignment with the Cabramatta Creek Flying Fox Camp Management Plan.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding while we completed this important project.

    Project history 

    In October 2020 the community was invited to provide feedback on the Review of Environmental Factors for the additional commuter parking at Warwick Farm Station.

    Thank you to everyone who made a submission. Your feedback helps us to understand what is important to customers and the community and will be considered during the detailed design phase of the project. 

    All submissions received during the public display period were considered as part of the planning approval process and are addressed in the Determination Report.
