The NSW Government has today revealed designs for the proposed new $3 million Helensburgh Police Station in the state’s Illawarra region.
The new Helensburgh Police Station will replace the existing demountable site on Waratah Street and will accommodate up to eight officers on any shift. Previously, just three officers could be accommodated at the site.
The Government says the modular design will manage and hold all the required operational policing equipment, provide secure parking for police vehicles and stand as a modern and permanent facility to replace the previous building that is no longer fit for purpose.
A first response police vehicle will be stationed at the new site. The region is also supported by specialist resources.

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb APM said the new station will provide a much-needed presence in the northern suburbs of Wollongong, allowing officers to respond to the growing needs of residents.
“Up to eight officers can work from the purpose-built station, which will provide modern facilities for police to operate from,” she said.
“The people of the Illawarra will now have greater access to policing and the new station will service their needs providing a high visibility presence in the community.”
The NSW Government promised to upgrade the existing Helensburgh Police Station during its first term, if elected to form government in 2023.

“Our government is reinvesting in our essential workers and our frontline services,” said NSW Premier, Chris Minns.
“Policing is a very difficult job. It’s not an easy profession, and this government is committed to ensuring our police officers have the facilities they need to keep people safe.”
The demolition of the current police station is set to begin next month.
