5864 - MACQUARIE FIELDS STATION

Chanthivong, Anoulack to the Minister for Transport and Roads

(1) Will allocation of funding be considered in the 2021-22 Budget for accessibility improvements at Macquarie Fields Station?

(a) If so, what accessibility improvements will be funded?

(b) If not, why are accessibility improvements not being funded at Macquarie Fields Station?
Answer -

I am advised:

Making public transport more accessible continues to be a priority of the Government. More than $2 billion has been committed to providing accessible, modern and integrated transport infrastructure, in keeping with the Government’s commitment to the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. These upgrades are delivered through Transport for NSW’s Transport Access and other infrastructure programs.

The Transport Access Program assessment process uses evidence-based criteria, including current and future patronage, customer demographics, proximity to important services such as hospitals or schools, and accessibility to nearby interchanges. Improving accessibility at Macquarie Fields Station will be considered as part of this assessment process.

While Macquarie Fields Station is not currently scheduled for an accessibility upgrade, the Government remains committed to providing accessible, modern and integrated infrastructure across the New South Wales transport network.
