Redfern Station Upgrade - New Southern Concourse

Upcoming work at Redfern Station and surrounding areas  

During August, we will continue to carry out work at and around the station area. These activities include work at:

• Marian Street and North Eveleigh compound areas, and on the new southern concourse
• the new station entrance and shared zone on Little Eveleigh Street.
• the new station entrance and new shared zone on Marian Street.

Marian Street shared zone construction

Work will continue on the new station entrance and new shared zone on Marian Street as well as within the Marian Street compound throughout August.

For five consecutive days in August, there will be a temporary detour in place via Margaret Street to allow for the new shared zone to to cleaned and sealed. There will also be temporary parking changes to Rosehill Street and Wilson Street to enable material and equipment to be safely delivered to the project's site compound. 

Standard construction hours for the project are between 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to 6pm on Saturdays. All activities being undertaken adhere to COVID safe practices and comply with current NSW Health COVID-19 Public Health Orders and restrictions.

Little Eveleigh Street shared zone construction

Work will continue on stage two of the Little Eveleigh shared zone, with stage one expected to be completed in the coming weeks.

The new shared zone will provide streetscape opportunities such as improved lighting, drainage, and landscaping, and improve pedestrian connections and flow in and around the station area. 

Little Eveleigh Street will remain temporarily closed to vehicles and cyclists to enable construction of the shared zone. Signage, barriers and traffic controllers will be in place to safely direct vehicles, cyclists during construction and pedestrian access will be maintained. 

Construction of the shared zone will be undertaken during standard construction hours. However, some out of hours work will occur intermittently at the corner of Little Eveleigh Street and Lawson Street in August. Standard construction hours for the project are between 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to 6pm on Saturdays.

For more information, please visit the Little Eveleigh Street shared zone webpage or view the August notification (PDF, 697.92 KB).

All activities being undertaken adhere to COVID safe practices and comply with current NSW Health COVID-19 Public Health Orders and restrictions.

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 timelapse video below.
