The Adelaide Railway Station feature lighting is an opportunity to highlight important events and days of significance to the South Australian community.

The Adelaide Railway Station is an iconic South Australian landmark that connects the community. A State Heritage Place, it stands as one of the finest remaining examples of neoclassical architecture in Australia. Originally built in 1926, the station is now one of the busiest destinations in the CBD, serving a diverse mix of commuters, city workers, tourists, and event-goers. Approximately 230,000 commuters pass through the station each week, totalling 12 million annually.

There are limited opportunities to use the external feature lighting for promotional purposes, ensuring the lighting retains its special significance.
