Cr Bradbery has tabled a Lord Mayoral Minute for Monday night's council meeting calling on councillors to support the campaign for lifts at the station.

The push for lifts at the station surged back on to the public agenda when a video of double amputee Toby Lyndon crawling up the stairs went viral after being posted to the Illawarra Mercury website in February.

From there it became one of the key regional issues in the recent state election, with all the major candidates pledging to pursue it in one form or another.

"The Unanderra railway station is the only station on the South Coast line with an island platform," Cr Bradbery said.

"The only access to the platform is by stairs and an overbridge. With a surrounding population of 30,000, parents with young people and prams, and people with disabilities, have to climb up and down 70 stairs to access the platform. This is clearly unacceptable."

Cr Bradbery's minute calls on the council to support the campaign and write to Transport Minister Andrew Constance "highlighting the necessity for disabled access to Unanderra railway station and reinforcing the need for this access to be given high priority".

Bec Schmidt, the woman behind the campaign group Elevators for Unanderra Train Station, was pleased to hear of the Lord Mayoral Minute.

"The support of Wollongong City Council will be greatly appreciated in our endeavours to have the Minister for Transport, Mr Andrew Constance, urgently reconsider the priorities of the Illawarra Regional Action Plan and to provide funding and commitment for an accessibility upgrade at Unanderra Station within the next two-year program," she said.
