Work on $31 million Newtown Station Upgrade to Start This Month
"Newtown is a thriving Sydney suburb, with its King Street railway station to soon receive a dramatic and eagerly anticipated face lift," Ms Tebbutt said. "Over the years, the number of people who use Newtown Station has grown significantly, with more than 10,000 people now catching a train from the Station every day. "The narrow stairs and entrance need to be upgraded to accommodate this increase in foot traffic." Ms Tebbutt said the new design incorporates feedback from local residents and groups.Deputy Premier and Member for Marrickville Carmel Tebbutt today joined Minister for Transport and Roads David Campbell at Newtown Station to release a new design plan for Newtown railway station, and announce work on the upgrade will start later this month.
