Clarendon Station Upgrade

The NSW Government has improved accessibility at Clarendon Station.

The upgrade was delivered as part of the Transport Access Program and Commuter Car Park Program, NSW Government initiatives to provide a better experience for public transport customers by delivering accessible, modern, secure and integrated transport infrastructure across the state.

The new all-day car parking spaces provide commuters with more convenient access to public transport at key interchanges and helping to ease congestion on our roads.

Project status

The station has been upgraded to improve accessibility and allow for safer, easier, and more convenient travel for all customers.

In May 2024, Transport for NSW installed a matting called VeloSTRAIL at the station level crossing on Racecourse Road. This technology closes the gap between the rail tracks and walking deck. This helps prevent wheelchairs, bicycles and pram wheels getting caught in the tracks.

Public art at Clarendon Station

A welcomed addition to Clarendon Station is the refreshed waiting areas on both platforms. The project team engaged local Dharug woman Leanne Watson Redpath and artists Tina Barahanos and Alexandra Byrne who collaborated to create the artwork Marrang Ngurra Biyanila. The art concept demonstrates their shared love of the environment with a mutual desire for truth telling and healing.

United to learn and heal Country, the artwork acknowledges the hurt experienced by the Dharug people during the colonisation of the Hawkesbury. Marrang Ngurra Biyanila, meaning “sand camp healing” shows this landscape. The Waradah represents healing, lorikeets and flora reflect the local environment, and meeting places bringing the community together. The meanings of Aboriginal words embedded throughout the artwork is listed below.
