The Minns Labor Government has completed construction of the $40 million Tuggerah Station upgrade.
The upgrade includes installing new lifts, a new footbridge and concourse, and improved accessible public toilets.
There are also 15 new accessible parking spaces in the commuter car park, upgraded bus stops, new footpaths, enhanced lighting, CCTV and pedestrian signage.
The upgrade also provides a Boarding Assistance Zone.
Central Coast commuters now have a train station that is easy to use for all passengers - especially people with disability, older people, people with prams or luggage and others who might be experiencing mobility problems.
This is the first upgrade at Tuggerah since ramps and a footbridge were added in 1988.
These latest works come as part of the Minns Labor Government's $800 million Safe Accessible Transport program, which is accelerating train station upgrades across the network.
Thousands of commuters will benefit from the rollout of the program designed to make public transport safer and more accessible, particularly for vulnerable members of the community.
Other features include new and extended canopies at station platforms and a widened platform around the entrance.
Two new lifts at Tuggerah were opened in October 2024 as the two-year project progressed.
A small amount of finishing work will continue through mid-2025.
This is another example of the Minns Labor Government delivering the infrastructure growing communities need, with Tuggerah part of the Transport Oriented Development Program.
Premier of New South Wales Chris Minns said:
"The Central Coast is a growing community with many workers commuting to Sydney to work.
"We have delivered the upgraded train station and transport interchange that Tuggerah deserves.
"Thousands of Tuggerah commuters will benefit from this upgrade - the first major upgrade in nearly 40 years for this station."
Minister for Transport John Graham said:
"This upgrade to Tuggerah Station is so important to ensuring everyone in this Central Coast community has equality of opportunity and can lead their lives without impediment.
"We continue to work towards delivering accessibility to all public transport passengers regardless of their needs or where they live."
Kate Washington, Minister for Disability Inclusion said:
"This Tuggerah Station upgrade is another milestone in the Minns Labor Government's plans to build a more inclusive NSW.
"Investing in accessible public transport is an investment in an inclusive society, where everyone can travel with dignity and independence.
"Upgrades like this don't just improve infrastructure-they improve lives by enabling everyone to fully participate in their communities."
Minister for the Central Coast and MP for Wyong David Harris said:
"This upgrade delivers significant enhancements to the public domain around Tuggerah Station, with a new footbridge and concourse, along with improvements to footpaths and station entrances.
"As a result of these upgrades, connectivity between the station and the Tuggerah Precinct has been improved and is now inclusive for all.
"I'm delighted to be part of a government that has delivered a major win for our commuters here on the Central Coast after so many false starts by the previous government."
Federal Member for Dobell Emma McBride said:
"Each day commuters from right across the Coast use Tuggerah Station for travel to Sydney or Newcastle for work or study.
"This upgrade delivers a safer and more accessible train station for locals.
"It's Labor Governments that deliver state-of-the-art infrastructure, like this upgrade, here on the Central Coast."
David Mehan, MP for The Entrance said:
"Central Coast rail travellers now have a station that is safe, inclusive and easy to use for all passengers, including people with disability, older people, people with prams or luggage, and others who might be experiencing mobility problems.
"The community has campaigned long and hard for this upgrade and it is good to see this has been delivered by a Labor government."
Liesl Tesch, MP for Gosford and Parliamentary Secretary for Disability Inclusion, said:
"The Minns Labor Government is committed to ensuring equality of access so all New South Wales residents can access the freedom that public transport allows.
"The Tuggerah station upgrade is one of many that have been completed or are underway as part of the Safe Accessible Transport program.
"Every time another station becomes accessible to ensure everyone can get to work or school and access the services they need to live a fulfilling and productive life it gives me great joy."
