Wollongong Railway Station Car Park and Bus Interchange
The station has a car park, and a proposal would convert part of the Wollongong Train Station car park into six bus parking spaces (haveyoursay.nsw.gov.au). The proposal also says bus drivers would be able to access existing facilities (haveyoursay.nsw.gov.au). This makes the station car park relevant to both rail passengers and bus operations.
The station address is 1 Railway Station Square, Wollongong NSW 2500, placing the railway access within the station precinct. Drivers using the station car park should allow for possible interaction with buses because the published proposal concerns a bus layover within the existing car park (haveyoursay.nsw.gov.au).
