Project status

Planning is underway for an upgrade at Lawson Station.

Transport consulted with the community and other stakeholders in 2024, inviting feedback on the early concept design. Feedback provided has been considered in the finalisation of the concept design for the upgrade.

In the coming months, Transport will be releasing the final concept designs for all three Blue Mountains stations - Lawson, Mount Victoria and Woodford. 

While funding is not yet available for delivery of the upgrade at Lawson Station, the feedback we have received is valuable and will help inform the design for future delivery.

Pending funding for project delivery, the next phase of the project would include Review of Environmental Factor (REF) for Planning Approval and detailed design development prior to commencing construction.
