Normanhurst Station Upgrade
The NSW Government is improving accessibility at Normanhurst Station
Planning approval has been granted for an accessibility upgrade at Normanhurst Station as part of the NSW Government’s Transport Access Program. The approval follows the public display of the Review of Environmental Factors from 8 to 22 February 2021, and preparation of a Determination Report.
The Determination Report and planning approval conditions are available at www.transport.nsw.gov.au/normanhurst. The Transport for NSW project team would like to thank the community for their feedback during the planning process.
To help address community feedback in line with the mitigation measures identified in the Determination Report, the project team is currently investigating improvements to the station upgrade where feasible.

October work
During this month, we will be working to carry out the following activities:
- installing new lift fit outs

- upgrading the station entrances on Denman Parade and Malsbury Road
- landscaping on Denman Parade and Malsbury Road.
Our work schedules remain Monday to Friday from 7am to 6pm, and Saturdays from 8am to 1pm.
We will carry out work over one weekend in October to finalise the Malsbury Road footpath.
This work will be continuous from 6pm Friday to 10pm Sunday. We will advise you of these dates in advance.
September work
Our September work will continue with excavation and piling work for the new lifts, disconnection of services and connections of new services within the rail corridor. There will also be upgrades to the station building on Platform 1.
Our work hours remain unchanged, between Monday and Friday 7am and 6pm.
The NSW Government has introduced extended operating hours for construction sites to support the industry during the evolving COVID-19 situation, with sites now able to operate on weekends and public holidays. If we need to work on weekends, we will notify you of this change.
Covid-19 Safe Practice
The Normanhurst Station Upgrade is committed to follow the advice of the NSW Government abiding to all safe COVID-19 safe practices.
Temporary footpath closure of Normanhurst Station footbridge
During the month of September, the temporary closure of the station footbridge will take place for up to five days.
The closure of the footbridge is to allow for piling and excavation work to be carried out safely.
Please refer to the map for pedestrian detours around the station via Buckingham Avenue. There will be signage of detours to guide pedestrians.
How will this work effect you?
The equipment used throughout September and October will include; excavators, piling machines, vaccuum trucks, road saws, tipper trucks, concrete trucks and pumps, dump trucks, chainsaws, chippers, lighting towers and various power tools.
Where possible, measures will be implemented to reduce noise and dust associated with this work, including adding shade cloth mesh to fencing, using noise blankets, turning off vehicles and equipment when not in use and using non-tonal reversing beepers.
