Petersham Station Upgrade
Project overview
The upgrade at Petersham Station is being delivered as part of the Transport Access Program, a NSW Government initiative to provide a better experience for public transport customers by delivering accessible, modern, secure and integrated transport infrastructure across the state. As part of the program, the Petersham Station Upgrade will provide a station precinct that is accessible to those with a disability, limited mobility, parents/carers with prams and customers with luggage.

Project update
Planning approval for the Petersham Station Upgrade has been granted, and construction is now underway. This will result in some temporary changes to the area around Petersham Station.
For more information about construction activities occurring in July, please view the July community notification.
Parking changes on Terminus Street
We are putting in the final touches to complete the new station forecourt on Terminus Street.
Approximately 7 parking spaces will need to be removed on the station side to accommodate this upgrade. Due to this enlarged forecourt area, approximately 7 parking spaces on Terminus Street, opposite the station entrance would also need to be removed to ensure that vehicles are able to travel in both directions safely and with adequate space. Please refer to the July community notification and map below for more information.
