A broad based campaign was started in January 2012 to get lifts installed at Redfern Station. It is supported by a wide range of organisations including business, the arts, the Aboriginal community, community services, resident groups and local political party branches. A key part of the “Lift Redfern” campaign is to get the appalling access at Redfern Station debated in the NSW Parliament with a 10,000 signature petition and to call on the “Minister of Transport to take immediate action to install lifts to Redfern Station platforms”.
To find out more or to access the petition you can contact Inner Sydney Regional Council or The Factory Community Centre. Lift Redfern can also be found on Facebook or at http://liftredfernstation.wordpress.com.
