Out of hours works

​Works will take place from 11pm on Friday 2 August to 6pm on Sunday 4 August​ during a planned track closure. 

General work hours​

Works will generally take place 6am to 6pm Monday to Saturday, unless notified.​

Impacts

While driveway access will remain available, there will be changes to entry and exit routes at times between 32 and 40 Mining Street.

The existing station carpark is closed with parking available closer to Creek Street. This ensures works inside the station carpark area can progress safely. Please see site workers for bike locker access.

Every effort will be made to carry out these works with respect for our neighbours and customers.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we build a better station.​

Station closure and alternative transport

To fast-track construction and deliver the upgrade as safely as possible, the station is now closed until later this year while major work is underway.

During this time, trains are running express through the station. Customers can look forward to using the new, modern, fully accessible station in the second half of 2024.
