Redfern Station Upgrade - New Southern Concourse

The NSW Government is improving accessibility at Redfern Station as part of the Transport Access Program.

The project aims to provide a station precinct that is accessible to those with a disability, limited mobility, parents/carers with prams and customers with luggage.

Upgrading Redfern Station will make it easier for all customers to access, as well as improving connections between the station and key destinations in the area. The upgrade includes a new concourse at the southern end of the station.

Key benefits

Easy access to platforms 1 to 10 with 6 new stairs and lifts.
Better connectivity with the surrounding areas including key destinations such as South Eveleigh (formerly known as Australian Technology Park), and education centres.

Upgrading Redfern Station is the first step in renewing the Redfern North Eveleigh precinct.

Relocating a 130-year-old heritage building at Redfern Station

Weighing 70 tonnes, the heritage building travelled 18 metres down Platform 1 at Redfern Station to its new home. The building was moved to ensure the new stairs and lift shafts as part of the New Southern Concourse did not interfere with the structure of the building.

It is believed the building was built in 1884 and has served a number of purposes over the years, including an electrical workshop, ticket office, station office, and a railway telegraph office.

The move took two days to complete, and the whole moving process can be viewed in just one minute in the time-lapse video below.
