Noarlunga Centre Interchange is the terminus of the Noarlunga Centre line, a part of the suburban railway system in Adelaide, South Australia.
Noarlunga Centre is 30.2 km (18.8 mi) by rail from Adelaide Railway Station, and is a major transportation hub for Adelaide’s southern metropolitan area. The station has a bus interchange directly alongside and is adjacent to a large commuter Park-and-Ride facility.
Noarlunga Centre is an important regional centre for shopping, recreation and various government services. The headquarters of the City of Onkaparinga are located here and other facilities within easy reach of the rail and bus stations include Centro Colonnades, a hospital, a TAFE college, cinemas, and a swimming pool. Combined with its role as a transport interchange, these make Noarlunga Centre one of the busiest stations on the Adelaide suburban rail system.
Noarlunga Centre was one of the few railway stations on the TransAdelaide network with a staffed ticket office. The railway station office was to close temporarily from 4th February until 24th July 2011 during upgrading of the Noarlunga line, but did not reopen after completion of the project. It has also been designated a Safer Station with enhanced lighting, CCTV surveillance and security help phones provided.
