Edgecliff Station Upgrade
Delivered as part of Transport for NSW’s Transport Access Program, the Edgecliff Station Upgrade transformed accessibility, passenger movement and station functionality within one of Sydney’s busiest transport interchanges.
Delivered in a live operational environment, the project improved connections between rail, bus and public spaces while maintaining continuous access for customers, businesses and the surrounding community.
Improving Accessibility and Customer Experience
The upgrade delivered two new lifts connecting the paid and unpaid concourses, station platforms and bus interchange, significantly improving accessibility throughout the precinct. Additional works included the relocation of ticket gates, disability access improvements, new passenger seating and upgrades to station staff facilities.
New electronic passenger information systems, hearing loops and public announcement upgrades further improved the customer experience and accessibility of the station
Building a More Connected Transport Hub
The completed upgrade provides a safer, more accessible and easier-to-navigate transport hub for commuters. Improved accessibility, customer flow and interchange connections have enhanced the station’s role as a key transport link for Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
Enhancing the Interchange Environment
Edgecliff Station functions as a major transport interchange connecting rail, bus and surrounding retail facilities. The project improved pedestrian access and safety through new crossings, windbreaks, canopy extensions and improved connections throughout the interchange.
A new kiss-and-ride facility and accessible access improvements on McLean Street further strengthened connectivity between the station and surrounding community.
Delivering in a Live Operational Environment
The works were completed while the station, bus interchange, retailers, public and private car parks, local businesses and surrounding residents continued to operate. Maintaining access and minimising disruption required careful staging, coordination and stakeholder management throughout delivery.
