Description
Point Clare Station is on the CCN – Central Coast – Newcastle Line, 4km southwest of Gosford, about 85km from Sydney. The station is bordered by Brisbane Water Drive and Kurrawa Avenue and consists of an elevated station comprising two way-side platforms serving two separate tracks. Upon completion of the project, Point Clare Station now offers convenient and accessible access from Brisbane Water Drive and Kurrawa Avenue via two new passenger lifts allowing passengers to access the train platforms. Accessible parking was also added within proximity of the new station access routes.
The project involved the installation of:
- Two new lifts connecting to the platform.
- Upgraded Station entries ensuring accessible paths of travel.
- Refurbishment work to the existing toilet block to accommodate ambulant members.
- Pavement Works to Brisbane Water Drive & Kurrawa Avenue.
- Relocation of major services.
- Improve existing structures to improve compliance.
- Lighting, security, and other system upgrades.
