Welcome to the Kempsey Railway Station reVITALise Project

Kempsey Shire Council, in partnership with Transport for NSW, is excited to announce a new initiative that will transform the public transport precinct around Kempsey Railway Station into a safer, more welcoming, and well-connected space. With the support of the reVITALise - Public Transport Precinct Vibrancy program, we are set to enhance Kempsey Railway Station vibrancy and safety, making it a better place for both the local community and commuters.

Kempsey is one of the seven pilot councils selected for this initiative, and Kempsey Shire Council has been awarded $1 million to create a more vibrant and accessible transport area. This funding will go towards designing and delivering community-informed improvements, making a more community connected space where travel is easier, more comfortable, and more enjoyable for everyone.

Why Your Input Matters

Your feedback plays a crucial role in shaping the future of the Kempsey Railway Station precinct. We want to make sure the changes reflect what’s important to you and the local community. Whether it’s improving safety, enhancing connectivity, or adding features that make the area more inviting, this is your chance to help influence the outcome.

What’s Happening?

Our goal is to gather input from you, our community members, and everyone who uses the Kempsey Railway Station precinct, about the improvements you’d like to see. These improvements will be made within a 500-metre radius of the station and could include things like:

• Bus stops and parts of the train station
• Improved lighting, seating, and shade
• Better accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians
• Public art, murals, and landscaping
• Amenities like bike racks and mobile charging stations

We aim to create a space that is safer, more accessible, and vibrant, encouraging more people to use and enjoy public transport.
