Wollongong Station Precinct draft Master Plan
Project overview
Transport for NSW is planning for the future of the Wollongong Station Precinct. The draft master plan provides a framework for future upgrades and place-making projects at the train station and its immediate surrounds.
The vision
The Wollongong Station Precinct Master Plan is a long-term vision for transforming the station area into a vibrant, connected and inviting hub that reflects the unique identity of Wollongong.
To achieve this vision, the draft Master Plan proposes:
- upgrading the ‘gateways’ to and from the station on Crown Street, Station Street and Gladstone Avenue
- improving connectivity between the station and the city centre, foreshore and hospital
- stronger active and public transport links.
The draft Master Plan has been developed with the Wollongong Health Precinct Strategy prepared by the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure and Wollongong Hospital future planning by NSW Health to create an integrated and accessible health precinct.

Community information
What are the key proposals in the draft plan?
The draft Master Plan proposes to upgrade the ‘gateways’ to and from the station on Crown Street, Gladstone Avenue and Station Street, as well as identifying ‘opportunity sites’ for potential future development.
The draft plan also proposes to enhance the connection of the Station to the health precinct, which would include footpath upgrades, landscaping and safety measures to improve the walkability of Crown Street between the station and the hospital.
How long until we see any of these proposals come to fruition?
We are currently still in very early planning.
The draft Master Plan is a long-term plan (20+ years) that will be implemented in stages as funding becomes available.
What is the purpose of community consultation?
We engaged with the community in early 2025, while the master plan is still in draft, to ensure we haven’t overlooked anything important and to confirm whether our vision aligns with the community’s. This feedback will help guide us before moving to the next phase of planning.
What are the next steps?
Insights from this community consultation will be shared with DPHI and NSW Health to plan for an integrated and accessible health precinct.
Transport is committed to ongoing stakeholder engagement to plan a precinct that supports the city’s growth and reflects the community’s needs.
