Upgrade

In May 2013, a major upgrade for Wentworth Falls was announced as part of the Transport Access Program. In 2014, the station building was restored, with the ochre paint removed to return it to bare brick. In December 2014, designs for the major transformation were released, including three lifts, a covered walkway and bike parking facilities.

In May 2015, it was announced that the plans had been approved and that tenders were being assessed. Completion of the upgrade saw the lifts opened on Monday 19 June 2017.
