It’s easy to travel to our North Sydney Campus. There are many trains, buses, cycling and walking routes passing close by.
ACU aims to help students and staff to choose the most sustainable way to travel to and from campus. Remember, how you get to campus is important. It impacts on our local communities, on our environment and on your own health, wellbeing and finances.
The North Sydney Train Station is on the busy Northern and North Shore train lines. To plan your trip to North Sydney Station, we recommend that you use the City Rail Trip Planner.
North Sydney Campus is an easy walk from the North Sydney Station. To get there, walk through the Greenwood Plaza and up the escalators until you come out at the Miller Street and Pacific Highway intersection. From there turn left up Mount Street and then right down Edward Street.
Many bus services to North Sydney stop at Blues Street; adjacent to the station, or on the Pacific Highway. We recommend that you use the Sydney Buses Trip Planner to plan your bus journey to the campus.
We all know that physical activity is good for your health, studies and general wellbeing. The easiest way to get active is to incorporate walking into your everyday activities, such as your journey to campus.
North Sydney Council’s Walking North Sydney page has more information and maps.
Cycling is a great way to get to campus but local roads are often busy, so planning your journey is crucial. The website Ride the City provides many detailed bike routes, and North Sydney Council provides online cycling information and maps.
