Port Kembla Platform Extension Project


Transport for NSW acknowledges the Dharawal people as the traditional custodians of the Illawarra and pay our respect to Elders past and present.

What are we doing at Port Kembla Station?

We are making the platforms longer at Port Kembla Station to make it easier for customers to board and alight the Mariyung Fleet. The new 10-car trains will provide an improved level of comfort and convenience for intercity customers. For more information please visit our Mariyung Fleet page.

Work we are doing to improve the station for customers and our staff:

  • extending the eastern end of the station platform by around eight metres to accommodate the longer fleet of intercity trains and provide access for customers to all carriages of the train
  • improving safety on the platforms by upgrading lighting, closed circuit television, the passenger announcement systems, tactile paving and line marking as required by the platform extension
  • realigning and installing new tracks, overhead wiring and signalling so that the trains can operate safely and efficiently.

Other work in this area


Some work is being undertaken in this area, north of Port Kembla Station at Port Kembla North Station, to support the delivery of additional rail infrastructure. The work includes:


  • relocation of signalling infrastructure
  • closed-circuit television (CCTV) and public announcement (PA) system upgrades.

Please visit the Documents section for up-to-date information about this work.


Next steps

We are continuing to deliver projects across New South Wales while ensuring the safety of all staff and the community. In line with current Australian Government guidelines around slowing the spread of Coronavirus and social distancing, all work will be carried out at a safe physical distance where possible and necessary hygiene practices will be observed.

Keeping you up to date

We are committed to integrating sustainable practices into our projects and reducing environmental impacts.

After May 2023, we will no longer be distributing hard copy notifications to residents on this project unless requested.

Instead, we will be providing construction updates by email.

If you would like to be emailed project updates please contact us on 1800 684 490 or email projects@transport.nsw.gov.au.

If our work is anticipated to directly impact your property and we do not have your contact details, we will distribute a paper notification to your address to ensure you are aware of upcoming activities.
