Council will partner with Transport for NSW on a $1 million project to improve the pedestrian experience between Campbelltown Station and Queen Street.
The aim will be to make the space between the two CBD spots more vibrant, safer and well-connected.
Campbelltown is one of seven pilot councils benefiting from the $7 million reVITALise program (Public Transport Precinct Vibrancy Grant).
The funding will g towards the design and delivery of community-informed placemaking and vibrancy initiatives in public transport precincts.
Council is inviting residents to attend a community co-design event next Wednesday, March 12 from 5.30pm to 7pm, at the entrance of the Campbelltown Station underpass – just where Mayor Darcy Lund is pictured above.
A pop-up engagement session will follow on Thursday, March 13 from 3.30pm.
Council will use these opportunities to engage with local community and commuters to seek their feedback and listen to their ideas on how to improve the experience between Campbelltown Station and Queen Street.
Improvements might include amenity and accessibility features, for people when walking or riding, such as seating, lighting, public art and murals, or supporting infrastructure.
“The reVITALise grant is more than just an investment in infrastructure, it’s an investment in our community’s future,” says Mayor Lound.
“We’re transforming the connection between Campbelltown Station and Queen Street to improve the experience of anyone who walks, cycles, or commutes.
“And we’re doing it together, by listening to our community and gathering feedback to ensure this project reflects the needs and vision of the people who use the space every day.’’
Member for Campbelltown Greg Warren commended the program as a “great initiative and investment in our community’’.
“The grant will allow for much needed improvements to the connection between Campbelltown Station and Queen Street, by engaging with the community and most importantly, listening to their feedback so as to ensure that the project reflects the needs of the people who use it most,” he said.
Projects funded by the program will be delivered by mid-2026.
