With the March state election now a distant memory, the phrase "access is critical, not political" is gone as the Unanderra Access Group moves into the next phase of its campaign.

UAG chairwoman and stroke survivor Bec Schmidt said the group wanted to make it clear its call to action was on behalf of the entire community - from mothers with prams and cyclists to people carrying luggage and those with mobility issues.

"[The new banner is] just to let people know that we're still campaigning for access for everyone that has a problem with the station," Ms Schmidt said

"The sign [pictured on the banner] shows what was meant to be done in 2012, then you've got the stairs next to it which shows that's still what it looks like."

Ms Schmidt said discussions with politicians, including parliamentary secretary for the Illawarra Gareth Ward, were ongoing and the group remained hopeful access would be improved.

Earlier this month, the Mercury reported Transport for NSW information suggested Unanderra should be the next South Coast station to have lifts installed.

The department's Train Statistics 2014 document, released in May, ranked every station in the network based on the number of people that used them.

Unanderra placed equal fifth with Kiama and Dapto, when ranked from most-used to least-used station.

The four stations that ranked higher - Wollongong, North Wollongong, Thirroul and Helensburgh - already have lifts installed, as does Kiama, while Dapto has far easier access to the platforms than Unanderra.

A spokesman for Transport Minister Andrew Constance wouldn't say if the Unanderra usage figures meant it was next in line for a lift upgrade.

Meanwhile, Ms Schmidt said a barbecue fund-raiser for the UAG at Coles Berkeley at the weekend raised $447.80, $87 of which came directly from donations.
