Wollstonecraft Station Upgrade

Reviewed

The NSW Government is improving accessibility at Wollstonecraft Station.

The upgrade 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 Wollstonecraft Station Upgrade will provide a station that is accessible to those with a disability, limited mobility, carers/parents with prams and customers with luggage.

The project is expected to be completed in 2022*.

Key benefits

Why accessibility upgrades are needed at Wollstonecraft Station

As an operator of public transport under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA), Transport for NSW is required to upgrade the station precinct and ensure equitable access is provided for all customers. 

Wollstonecraft Station does not currently meet the requirements of the federal Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (DSAPT).

The Standards set out minimum accessibility requirements for public transport providers and ensure that people with disability have equivalent access to public transport services. 

At Wollstonecraft Station, the existing slope of the ramps is too steep and is not easily accessible for all customers, including those with additional mobility requirements.  

Upgrading the station precinct will make Wollstonecraft accessible to people with additional mobility requirements, parents/carers with prams and customers with luggage.

A copy of the standards can be accessed on the website of the Commonwealth Attorney-General's Department. Further information about the Standards can be found on the website of the Australian Human Rights Commission.
