Infrastructure
Delivering much-needed infrastructure is one of my key priorities for the electorate.
MACQUARIE FIELDS STATION UPGRADE PROJECT
The Macquarie Fields Station upgrade is a major win for our community and comes after many years of advocacy. People in Macquarie Fields have been waiting years for a lift at the station, and I look forward to working with my Parliamentary colleagues to make the station accessible for all.
A dedicated website has been established with more information on the project. Visit https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/projects/current-projects/macquarie-fields-station-upgrade to learn more.
Major construction is starting at Macquarie Fields Station, delivering a long-awaited upgrade for the more than 10,000 passengers who use the station every week.
Key features of the upgraded station include:
- A new footbridge with lifts, stairs and a covered walkway to the platform.
- A new family accessible toilet and unisex ambulant toilet.
- Six accessible parking spaces and two accessible drop-off spaces.
- A single entry point to the station from Railway Parade, improving wheelchair, elderly and pram access.
- Improved lighting and CCTV.
- More bike parking.
Work will ramp up around rail possession weekends through May and will include the laying of foundations for the new footbridge and lifts.
Major construction is expected to be complete by late 2026.
Free community tours of the project will take place quarterly throughout construction. To register interest in tours and find the latest on the upgrade, visit the project website: https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/projects/current-projects/macquarie-fields-station-upgrade

EDMONDSON PARK HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT
Construction has officially commenced on a long-awaited, brand new high school.
With turning of the first sod for Edmondson Park's new high school, work continues on the Minns Labor Government's commitment to ensure students in Sydney's rapidly-growing South West have access to high quality public education.
The new high school in Edmondson Park, located adjacent to Edmondson Park Public School on Buchan Avenue, will include 37 modern classrooms, three support learning classrooms, and a range of world-class education facilities including science, technology, performing arts, and fitness hubs, a library, canteen, sports field and multi-sports courts and lecture theatre.
It will be ready to open for students on Day 1, Term 1, 2027.
EDMONDSON PARK COMMUTER CAR PARKING
I am delighted to be delivering more commuter car parking in the electorate.
Edmondson Park North Commuter Car Park recently opened to the public, providing an extra 900 spaces. This complements the Edmondson Park South car park and means commuters at Edmondson Park benefit from around 2,000 parking spaces.
This is the result of a hard-fought community campaign over many years to deliver our fair share.
The seven-storey Edmondson Park North Commuter Car Park has adopted world-leading sustainability initiatives.
The new car park will be operated with Transport Park&Ride boom gates which provides up to 18 hours of free parking each day. For more information, visit www.transportnsw.info/parkandride

I continue to advocate for access to quality education, healthcare and other services in our growing communities. For more information about issues relating to my electorate, please contact my office at [email protected] or phone 9618 2077.
