Families in the Sutherland Shire are getting a first look at the design for the new fire station planned at Engadine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In June, the Minns Labor Government allocated $9.9 million in the 2026\/27 NSW Budget for the construction of a new Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two adjoining lots – with access to Railway Parade and the Old Princes Highway \u2013 have already been secured for the future development of the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new station will replace the existing location on Prestons Avenue, which has served the community since its opening in June 1966.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The building will feature two engine bays, improved crew accommodation and provide a safer working environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Engadine fire station build is part of more than $105 million allocated for FRNSW infrastructure and fleet this financial year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project builds on a $5 million commitment to upgrade FRNSW stations in the Heathcote electorate, including completed works at Coledale, Sutherland, Thirroul and Helensburgh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emergency Services Minister Jihad Dib said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s great to see the design concept for the new fit-for-purpose fire station at Engadine which will give local crews the space, equipment and facilities they need to continue to protect families and homes across Sydney\u2019s south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re investing in modern fire stations to maintain strong and reliable emergency response capability to protect communities across the state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Member for Heathcote Maryanne Stuart said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is an important investment for Engadine, giving local firefighters a modern, purpose-built station to serve the community for decades to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe station design will provide easy access onto the highway, allowing for a rapid response by fire crews.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n FRNSW Commissioner, Jeremy Fewtrell said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe new station will support our firefighters and the growing needs of the Engadine community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe design also incorporates our Clean Fire Station principles, reducing firefighters\u2019 exposure to harmful substances brought back from firegrounds.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Families in the Sutherland Shire are getting a first look at the design for the new fire station planned at Engadine.
