Project status
During August, main construction work at the station will include ongoing construction of new lift pit behind platform screening, construction of concrete support columns and the lift shaft, and concrete foundation work on the station platform.
A temporary work site has been set up within Girrahween Park on the eastern side of Hartill-Law Avenue, opposite the intersection with Bray Road.
Passengers are advised to allow extra time to safely cross the road at the signalised pedestrian crossing at the corner of Hartill-Law Avenue and Slade Road.
Please contact us on 1800 775 465 if you require assistance using the temporary stairs.
Overall construction is expected to take 18 months to complete, with project completion expected in late 2026.

Project history
What we have heard so far
Review of Environmental Factor feedback
In September 2024, Transport for NSW publicly displayed the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) for Bardwell Park Station Upgrade, being delivered as part of the Safe Accessible Transport program. We invited community and stakeholder feedback on plans to provide an accessible station with improved amenity and safety for customers.
Key feedback included:
- overall community support for the upgrade and improving accessibility at Bardwell Park Station
- suggestions to adjust parking arrangements on Hartill-Law Avenue to improve bus and vehicle thoroughfare
- preference to remove crossing or find a more suitable solution that reduces risk of traffic congestion and improves safety
- suggestions to take measures to reduce speeding on Hartill-Law Avenue near station entrance/proposed crossing
- requests to reconsider location of accessible parking and kiss and ride on Hartill-Law Avenue
- support for additional canopy coverage on the station platform and suggestion for additional seating
- suggestions to provide additional accessible station entry point from the RSL commuter car park and/or the Slade Road car park
- suggestions to improve signage in the carpark areas on either side of the station (Progress Lane and near the RSL).
Early Engagement
In April/May 2024, we engaged with the community and other stakeholders and received more than 70 pieces of feedback.
Feedback included:
- overall support for the project and improving accessibility at Bardwell Park Station
- suggestions to adjust arrangements on Hartill-Law Avenue to improve bus and vehicle thoroughfare
- preference to remove crossing
- requests to retain timed parking where possible
- requests to provide additional kiss and ride spaces during peak times
- support for bicycle storage
- support for additional canopy coverage on the station platform and suggestion for additional seating
- suggestion to provide additional accessible station entry point from the RSL commuter car park and/or the Slade Road car park.
We have responded to feedback provided by the community during this phase of engagement in the REF.
Preliminary Engagement
To help develop our concept design we also engaged with people with disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and women and girls from the local community. Targeted engagement included a Safer Cities Program workshop to understand women and girls’ perceptions of safety, and collaborative Connecting with Country events to understand the unique and enduring relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their ancestral lands, waters and natural resources.
Further detail on what we heard during this stage can be found within the April 2024 Community Update (PDF, 1.5 MB).
Transport is continuing to engage with Bayside Council and other key stakeholders to seek feedback on the concept design and precinct improvements.
