Macquarie Fields Station Upgrade

The Safe Accessible Transport program aims to make public transport safe, inclusive and easy to use for all passengers, especially people with disability, older people, people with prams or luggage and others who may be experiencing mobility problems. 

The project is expected to be completed in 2026*

Key benefits

• Safety and security at the station and surrounding precinct will be enhanced through improved lighting, CCTV, and wayfinding signage

*Estimated project completion time, subject to change.

Project status

Planning is underway for an upgrade at Macquarie Fields Station.

Transport has developed a concept design for Macquarie Fields Station, and community and stakeholder feedback was invited from 1-29 March 2024.

Our early engagement period has now closed. Feedback provided by the community will be responded to within the Review of Environmental Factors.

This report will be released mid-2024 and the community will once again be invited to have their say.

What we have heard so far

During our early engagement period which extended across a four-week period from 1 to 29 March 2024, around 60 pieces of feedback were received.

Common themes raised through feedback included:

• overall support for the project and improving accessibility at Macquarie Fields Station.
• support for proposed safety enhancements and suggestions for additional measures such as ticket barriers, trimming overgrown trees to improve sight lines and provision of additional lighting and CCTV in and around the station.
• consideration for the inclusion of a retail kiosk for the convenience of customers and to increase passive surveillance.
• support for the designated Kiss and Ride zone, with a suggestion to review number of spaces and flow of traffic especially during peak periods.
• request to include accessible ramps as an alternative for access when lifts are out of service.
• need to improve connectivity to the station by providing or upgrading surrounding footpaths, and requests to provide more frequent bus services connecting with train services, especially during off peak hours.

Transport is currently engaging with the City of Campbelltown Council and will continue discussions with key stakeholders to seek feedback on the concept design and precinct improvements.

Targeted early engagement - 2023

Prior to our early engagement period, we engaged with various groups to develop our concept design. This included people with disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and women and girls from the local community.

These engagements 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 March 2024 Community Update (PDF, 1.36 MB).
