Access to Taree Station is about to improve with Abi Civil awarded a contract for accessibility upgrades as part of the New South Wales Government Transport Access Program.
Regional Transport and Roads minister Sam Farraway said the station would undergo a revamp to be fully accessible to people with a disability, limited mobility, carers or parents with prams and customers with luggage.
“This upgrade will provide a better experience for public transport customers by delivering accessible, modern, secure and integrated transport infrastructure,” he said.
“When work starts in coming weeks we will be installing a new ramp to the platform, upgrading footpaths and walkways between the platform and the car park, upgrading the two accessible car spaces and modifying the waiting room and ticket counter.
“We’ll also provide improved amenities including a family accessible toilet and ambulant toilets, install tactile indicators along the platform and improve lighting and signage.”
Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Transport and Roads and Member for Myall Lakes, Stephen Bromhead, said the upgrade would provide more modern facilities that meet the needs of the growing community, and support an integrated transport network making the daily commute easier for locals and visitors.
