How to provide feedback on the concept design

View the plans and fill out the online feedback form at transport.nsw.gov.au/waitara
You can also provide feedback by emailing projects@transport.nsw.gov.au or calling 1800 684 490. Under normal circumstances Transport for NSW would hold community information sessions at the station. We regret that due to the COVID-19 social distancing measures, we can’t. We are still available by phone and email and look forward to hearing your questions that way.

Feedback on the concept design can be provided until 7 October 2020. Feedback from the community will help inform the Review of Environmental Factors (REF), which will be placed on public display in the coming months. We will keep the community informed about opportunities to provide feedback during the public display of the REF.

Why accessibility upgrades are needed at Waitara Station?

Waitara Station does not currently meet key requirements of the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) and the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (DSAPT).

Upgrading the station precinct will make Waitara Station accessible to transport customers with a disability, limited mobility, parents/carers with prams and customers with luggage.
